Dorothy Williams' Obituary
Williams, Dorothy
of Murrells Inlet, SC passed away after a short illness on Monday, June 18th, 2018. She and her family resided in Finleyville, PA for many years prior to retiring in SC.
She was born in Pittsburgh on March 19th, 1929 to Fred and Hilda Sturm. She had two younger brothers, Fred and Michael. They are both deceased. She married Llewellyn Williams of Pittsburgh in 1947. They had three children, Llew, David, and Timothy, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. She and her husband worked very hard to raise their family, sometimes working two jobs in addition to raising their family. Dorothy worked in educational food service for 17 years and she displayed her creative talents when she worked in a framing shop in SC.
Llew, David, and Dorothy's beloved dog, Lady Bug survive today and miss her greatly. They, David’s wife Carole and Justin, Jennifer and Jessica were blessed to be by her side in her final days.
She loved her family, friends, and her dog. She lived a long, proud, and rewarding life and will be missed sorely.
She had this on her desk: "Do not weep for me, my children for I do not walk alone. I've crossed the rolling river, and now I'm going home. Angel bands there will greet me, when I reach the other shore. Family members there are gathered, where we'll never part no more. In my spirit I see friends and family left below. No more sorrow, no more suffering, no more tears will ever flow. Jesus Christ will carry us over in tender loving care, so get ready Christian brothers, for the reunion is over there. "
A Visitation will be held from 12-1 PM at Jefferson Memorial Funeral Home, Pleasant Hills. A Funeral Ceremony will be directly after the visitation at 1 PM. Interment at Jefferson Memorial Park. Memorial donation may be made in Dorothy's name to The Humane Society.
