Among her notable soap roles (such as stints on The Doctors and The Edge of Night), her most memorable is a decade-long stint as head character Joanne's sister, Eunice, on Search for Tomorrow (1966-1976). Her character was a vixen at first, but she reformed when she found the man who truly loved her. However, that happiness was relatively short-lived, as she was shot by her deceiving husband's mistress. The writers of Search informed Williams that she would be written out of the show, and was killed off in this manner.
