Mother Drissie Mae Howard Williams
November 6, 1921 — November 10, 2016
Obituary "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
--Revelation 21:4 KJV
Mother Drissie Mae Howard Williams, affectionately known as "Mu" was born on November 6, 1921 to the late Stonewall Jackson Howard and Camilla Floyd Howard in Appling County, GA. On August 8, 1939, she married the late David "Bubba" Williams, Jr. who departed this life on September 2, 1985.
She was saved at an early age and became a faithful member of the St. John Church of God In Christ in Baxley, GA. She served as an usher, member of the Kitchen Committee, and was appointed to serve as the Church Mother by the late Elder William Henry Solomon. Her life work was in service with hands and heart to All of God's Children!
Her hobbies were sewing, quilting, gardening, fishing, canning, baby-sitting, traveling, spending time with family, and of course going to the flea market and giving Godly advice. She also loved baking- especially sweet potato pies and cornbread. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, her parents, Nathan Williams (son), LaShonda Williams (granddaughter), and a great-great-great granddaughter.
She leaves to cherish her precious memories her loving children:
Two sons, Donald Williams of Baxley, GA and Dwight (Melissa) Williams of Dothan, AL.
Five daughters: Johnola (late Wilbert) Robinson and Earline Collins of Daytona Beach, FL; Christine (Bart) Robinson of Baxley, GA; Margaret Williams of Locust Grove, GA; Sharon (Wilfred) Pace of Orangeburg, SC;
daughter in law, Avis Williams of Kinston, NC; a devoted sister, Mrs. Addie Hunter of Baxley, GA. and a God-daughter, Barbara Jackson of Columbus, GA. Thirty-one Grandchildren, Fifty-one Great-grandchildren, Twenty-seven Great-great-grandchildren, and one great-great-great-grandchild. A host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and loving friends.
To God Be the Glory!
