As one of 11 children, Patricia Williams was used to acting as a mediator in her family, even as a child.

Now, she volunteers her time advocating for children and families in L.A. County’s dependency through the organization Southern California Family Mediation.

Williams’ positive attitude has helped her through the loss of two children and her cancer diagnosis.

Now cancer free, this great-grandmother isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
