Audrey Nell Williams, age 90, passed away quietly Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022, in the Willow Brook Assisted Living Facility in Lake City, Fla. She was the wife of the late George Wallace Williams and
the daughter of the late Ira and Cordie Wood.
Williams was born in Wellborn, Fla. and was raised in Suwanee County, where her heart returned often. She loved watching historic videos of Wellborn’s past. She loved exploring her southern heritage and relationship with Jesus, with memberships and strong commitment to the Primitive Baptist Faith, both in Vero Beach, Fla., where her husband was from and in the Suwanee County area, where she was a member of Crawford Lake Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in McAlpin, Fla. She enjoyed the history shared with her membership in the Daughter’s of the Confederacy.
She was the happiest when she was with family, attending church or just sitting with old lifetime friends talking. Williams made many friends from working at Dale’s Manufacturing in Wabasso, Fla., before it closed and at First Citrus Bank in Vero Beach for several years until she retired to care for her husband for several years.
Williams's generation grew up in the uniformed age of cigarette popularity with few warnings of second-hand smoke or lung cancer. Though she never smoked, both Williams and her husband were lost to COPD from a lifetime of second-hand smoke, which she gladly tolerated to be close to the love of her life, George. She is survived by a son, Phil Williams of Lake Placid, Fla.; two daughters, Francine Glover of Live Oak and Arleen Magee of Vero Beach and one sister, Bon Ward of Live Oak. Three grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren also survive.
Family received their friends and neighbors on Thursday, Feb. 17, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at Harris Funeral Home in Live Oak. Graveside services were held on Saturday, Feb. 19, at 11 a.m.
