Diamond Williams

For Immediate Release — Monday, November 17, 2025-Lady Diamond, Beloved Zuchon of the Williams Family, Has Passed Away BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Lady Diamond, the cherished Zuchon of the Williams family, passed away peacefully at the age of 14 and a half — the equivalent of 104 years in doggy years. Born on June 1, 2011, she was the first family pet of veterinarian Dr. Naja Williams and her brother, Royce, and quickly became a source of joy, comfort, and unforgettable moments for the entire household. Lady Diamond brought love and laughter into the Williams home, even during the moments that tested everyone’s patience—such as her tendency to have “accidents.” Despite lifelong struggles with skin allergies, she fulfilled her purpose beautifully: bringing warmth, companionship, and delight to those around her. Diamond was always accepting—though very vocal—when visitors arrived at her home. She greeted every human like a friend, but had no interest in mingling with other dogs. In true Diamond fashion, she preferred to growl at them from a safe distance, making her boundaries clear without ever getting too close. Her lively spirit and constant barking filled the house with a presence that will be deeply missed. In her later years, Lady Diamond gracefully adjusted to the arrival of Olive the cat, welcoming a new kind of companionship into her world. She now rests in doggy heaven alongside her cousin, Elder London Jasper Webster, and other beloved family pets—including Roy and Patrice’s first dog, Jett. The Williams family expresses heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped care for and love Lady Diamond throughout her life. A special thanks goes to our son, Royce, for the exceptional care, patience, and love he showed Diamond during her advanced age, especially as she struggled with her declining health.
