Williams was diagnosed with the disease when she was three months old. In 2012, Williams and her mother started a YouTube channel that gained approximately 2.9 subscribers.

The family continued to write, “We want to say thank you to everyone that loved and supported her. Thank you to all her doctors and nurses that worked for YEARS to keep her healthy. The family would now like to mourn this huge loss in private.”

The cause of her death is currently unknown.
