Mary Anne Williams was the unwavering heart of her family, a woman whose profound love and gentle strength were evident in every aspect of her life. A devoted wife to Clarence Williams, she built a home filled with warmth, kindness, and unwavering support. Her role as a mother was her greatest joy, and she poured her life into raising her children, always offering a listening ear and a guiding hand. She was known for remembering every birthday, anniversary, and important date in her children's and grandchildren's lives, never failing to send a card. As a true prayer warrior and with her steadfast faith, her quiet, powerful prayers covered all of those she loved, both family and friends. Her descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the Lord has blessed. Isaiah 61:9
