ROGER B. WILLIAMS
On April 29, 2023, Roger B. Williams, 79, went to be with his lord and personal savior. He was born in Columbus, Ohio, on May 10, 1943, to Mollie Ann (Jones) Williams and Orval Williams. Growing up, he cherished his time in the family woods.
Roger was a born again Christian. Roger continued the family dedication to the country by joining the United States Air Force. During the Vietnam War, he was stationed in Guam on the fire and rescue unit for four years. After returning to the States, Roger worked for the soil and water conservation department for 51 years. He enjoyed being a part of God’s creations, farmers, and occasionally sharing his lunch with their dogs. He truly enjoyed life.
In 1967, Roger and Mary were married. Together, they enjoyed teaching and helping with the nursery, through the older youth in any church. His sense of humor will be missed by many.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife Mary Williams of 54 years, his daughters, Melissa Williams of Muncie, and Elizabeth Findley of Melbourne, Kentucky, his loving sister, Ann Williams of South Carolina, two grandsons, Thomas (Kaitlyn) and Joshua Findley of Kentucky, one great-grandson, Thomas John Findley of Kentucky, his nephew, Bob (Pat) Richards of Marion, his niece Karen (Ron) Richards, his cousin Carol Ann (Pastor Jim) Moore, Candy Brooks, his great niece Danielle (Beau) Ely and their daughter baby Olivia, and his great nephew Cody Richards.
Special thanks to the Church of Christ family for all their love and support. And especially the family of Tom Wildman who go above and beyond for the Williams family.
Roger is preceded in death by his grandparents, his parents and nephew Brett Richards.
Visitation will be held Saturday, May 6, 2023, at 2 pm- 4 pm at the Church of Christ in Liberty. The Burial will be Monday, May 8, 2023, at Noon, in Gaston, at the Thompson Cemetery.
