Throughout her life, Mrs. Williams held many titles: daughter, sibling, wife, sister-in-law, aunt, mama, mother-in-law, Maw-Maw and friend. But perhaps her greatest joy was that the word Christian could precede each of those names. She was a faithful life-long member of Moundville Baptist church and was found there at every opportunity for service, having been a Sunday Scholl Director, teacher in Sunday School, Training union, and Vacation Bible School, choir member, numerous committees and as WMU director. She always made a point of welcoming visitors to God"�s house, for she had a passion for missions, and wanted all to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Recognizing the beauty of God"�s creation she enjoyed the time she spent taking care of her flowers and making sure that flowers were provided for worship services at the church. Her home was always open to family and guests. Every holiday and occasion was made even more special by her fun spirit, vivacious laughter, and wonderful meals and dishes. We will miss her terribly but know that she is now enjoying in reality the words of her favorite hymn "This is my story; this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long."�
