Williams was featured in the American television program Amazing Medical Stories:
At 406kg, 29-year-old Renee Williams is the world's biggest woman. Confined to her bed, Renee begged doctors to perform an operation when she became so large that she couldn't hug her own children. She's waited 12 years for the gastric bypass surgery to help her get back on her feet... but it may just be too late.

She was also the subject of a British television program called "Half Ton Mum" broadcast on Channel 4 after her death as part of the BodyShock series. The program stated that she also held the world record for being the heaviest person ever to have gastric bypass surgery on her stomach at 63 stone, or around 880 lb. When Williams went to the hospital for her gastric bypass, her Body Mass Index was calculated by the doctors to be 113 kg/m2, where a BMI of 50+ is considered "super-morbidly obese". She was treated by the same medical team as Kenneth Brumley, subject of the counterpart documentary Half Ton Dad.
She was buried at Santa Maria Cemetery in Travis County Texas, US.
