Willodean O. Williams died peacefully in her home May 10, 2011.  She was preceded in death by her husband, William A. Williams Jr.

She leaves one daughter, Connie Williams; two brothers, Chris (Faye) Wells and Otis (Jean) Wells; and also a host of nieces, nephews and other loved ones.

Dean, as she was known by those who loved her, walked through some low valleys but always clung to and stood on her favorite Bible scripture, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”  She loved her God and her family and had a fancy for cats.  She was an avid seamstress and enjoyed needlework.  Dean had a determination to keep moving forward amidst life’s difficulties.  She was amazing and will be missed by so many.

Friends will be received from 10-11:30 a.m., Thursday, May 12 at Liberty Hill Baptist Church.

Services will be held Thursday, May 12 at 11:30 a.m. at Liberty Hill Baptist Church in Clanton.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or Humane Society.
