"These days are wild with a 2 and 5 year old! In January this year, I decided to be more present and be more peaceful in all aspects of life," she wrote. "These kids will not pose for a picture but as long as they are having fun and feeling loved by mom [and] dad, surely we are halfway doing this parenting thing right!"

Williams-Dunning was reportedly driving a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe down Highway 79 Southbound, northeast of Paris, Tennessee when she crashed on Saturday evening. Her husband was in the passenger seat, and they were towing a boat behind the SUV. At 7:44 p.m., the car crossed the dividing median of the highway and rolled over, crossing all of the northbound lanes to stop in the shoulder on the other side of the highway. Dunning was airlifted to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, and his condition remains unknown. Williams-Dunning reportedly passed away from injuries sustained in the crash. Details are still coming in as police investigate the tragedy.

Williams-Dunning is survived by her two young children, as well as her father Hank Williams Jr., her mother Mary Jane Thomas, her siblings Sam Williams, Holly Williams, Hilary Williams and Shelton Hank Williams — also known as Hank Williams III.
