James H. Williams went home to be with his LORD and Savior on February 8, 2022. He leaves behind Carolyn, his wife of 64 years; daughters Kellie Brown, Lisa Williams and Lynn (Chris) Donley; grandchildren Catherine (Jonathan) Pigford, Jameson Brown, Natalie (Matthew) Noble and Victoria Brown.
He served in the U.S. Army and he retired from Ohio Edison after 37 years.
He served the LORD faithfully as a Sunday School teacher, Deacon and Elder. He was a mighty prayer warrior. He will be dearly missed, yet we rejoice knowing he is Home with the LORD.
One of his favorite verses was John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
The family wishes to thank Pleasant View and Crossroads Hospice for their kindness and care.
