Actress Faithia Williams has shared the burial arrangements for her mother, Gloria Williams.
The 57-year-old announced the details on her Instagram page on Monday.
According to the schedule, a wake‑keep will take place on Friday, March 6. This will be followed by Interment and Lying In State. On Sunday, March 8, a Thanksgiving Mass is planned at St. Monica Catholic Church.
Faithia said the ceremonies will be private and only close friends and relatives invited will attend. She added that a later date will be set for a larger public burial service.
“I want to specifically thank everyone who has reached out since the demise of my dear mother. I’m truly grateful for the emotional support, the calls, the visits, and the show of love. May Allah (SWT) bless you all,” she wrote in the message accompanying the flier.
She repeated that the immediate ceremonies are by invitation only, saying:
“For those who have asked for the burial details, the family has decided on a private ceremony strictly for close friends and relatives. However, a later date will be announced for the final burial ceremony that will accommodate all and sundry.”
Faithia also reminded people that entry to the venue will be limited to guests with invitations from the designated contact number.
Last month, the actress announced her mother’s death. She said her mother died just before her 55th birthday celebration and described her as her “cheerleader, prayer warrior, best friend and gist partner.”
