LADY VIRGINIA WILLIAMS DIES AT THE AGE OF 66

Below is the relevant press release from the Williams Team which I only picked up late today while checking my email for F1 news after work.

I would just take this opportunity to offer my condolences to Sir Frank Williams and his family on their loss

8th March 2013. Grove, UK. It is with great sadness that today we report the death of Lady Virginia Williams, wife of Williams Founder and Team Principal Sir Frank Williams.

Lady Virginia, or ‘Ginny’ as she was better known, died peacefully at the family home last night surrounded by Frank and the rest of the Williams family. Ginny had been bravely battling cancer for the past two and a half years.
Ginny will always be an integral part of Williams’ history and success, and today we pay tribute to a much loved member of the Williams family who will be sorely missed. Please respect the family’s wishes for privacy at this time.
