‘Happy Days’ Star Anson Williams Marries at 73 after Beating Cancer — His Series Co-star Was His Best Man

Anson Williams, who gained popularity as Warren “Potsie” Weber in the classic American comedy “Happy Days,” recently celebrated a happy life milestone. Williams, who is 73 years old,

wed Sharon MaHarry in a moving ceremony that represents friendship and personal success. Don Most, a longtime friend and former co-star, attended the occasion as his best man.

On Saturday, May 6, 2023, the couple got married in the lush, green backyard of Williams’ home in the charming seaside town of Los Angeles. The party took place against a magnificent backdrop of pretty flowers and colorful lights strung from the trees in an intimate setting.

Williams appeared to be the epitome of contentment as he wore a sophisticated black suit, a light blue shirt, a gray tie, and black eyeglasses. Sharon MaHarry, his wife, exuded elegance in a floor-length lace gown featuring a boat neck and voluminous skirt.

She held a pretty bouquet of flowers and had her blond hair down and secured away from her face.

Williams and MaHarry experienced a sense of rejuvenation and happiness as their love story bloomed later in life. MaHarry is an experienced real estate agent who has had success in writing and advertising.

She graduated from Salem, Virginia’s Roanoke College with a degree in English. She wrote the memoir “Crazy Mama: A Memoir of Love and Madness” and was formerly senior vice president and creative director at the Young and Rubicam Advertising Agency in New York.

Lindsay, MaHarry’s daughter, is a journalist in Los Angeles and was instrumental in the wedding by accompanying her mother down the aisle.

On April 3, 2023, Williams and MaHarry announced their engagement on Facebook, where Williams frequently posts updates and marks personal achievements.

Close friends and family members witnessed the couple’s vows to stay together for the rest of their lives with admiration throughout the wedding ceremony. The event’s emotional ambiance was further enhanced by romantic music playing in the background.

The appearance of Don Most, Williams’ longtime friend and co-star from “Happy Days,” as his best man, was one of the most heartwarming elements of the wedding.

Williams and Most, who played Ralph Malph in the program, have been friends for many years, demonstrating a strong connection that goes beyond their on-screen companionship. Most is referred to by Williams as his “brother” frequently, and everyone in attendance could see how deeply connected they are.

For Williams, there were obstacles on the path to this happy moment. He was given a Stage 2 colon cancer diagnosis in December 2016, which put his fortitude to the test. Williams came out on top after two operations and three weeks in the hospital.

He also gained a new outlook on life and a greater appreciation for his loved ones. His recuperation reaffirmed his dedication to his family, which included his kids and grandkids, and emphasized the value of savoring each moment.

Williams’ 30-year marriage to Jackie Gerkens ended, among other personal hardships that he overcame before finding happiness with MaHarry. Williams maintained optimism that he would find love again in spite of the challenges, and his relationship with MaHarry has given him a fresh sense of happiness and direction.

Williams moved to the quiet town of Ojai, California, in 2011, and the pair has since chosen to live there. This has given them a calm and encouraging environment. Williams has frequently talked about how Ojai has improved his life, attributing his recuperation and mental health to the town and its tranquil environment.

Williams and MaHarry have their family and friends’ love and support as they start this new chapter in their lives together. Williams is a devoted grandfather to four grandchildren and still enjoys life and making special experiences. His tale serves as a tribute to the human spirit’s tenacity and the unfailing force of love.
