Mary Virginia Williams

1921 - 2017

God, in his infinite wisdom and divine providence, called his beloved daughter, Mary Virginia Williams, 95, from labor to reward on Sunday, January 1, 2017, at Louisa Health and Rehab Center Louisa, Virginia.
Mary was born Saturday, April 23,1921. She was preceded in death by her parents, Deacon John J. and Kate Lewis-Williams; sisters, Catherine Fletcher-Harrison, Florence Johnson, Jeanette Anderson; brother, John M. Williams; and a loving niece-like daughter, Connie Trice.
Mary was also known as Ginia, Gin, Miss Virginia, Aunt Virginia, Grandma, Miss America and "Mother" (My Big Baby). She was a quiet and humble person who loved spending time with her family. She was a devoted member of Eagle Baptist Church, where she joined at an early age and could be found on any given Sunday in an outfit coordinated by her daughter which included a beautiful dress or suit with matching hat, shoes, pocketbook, and "earbulbs," as she liked to call them. Mary attended church faithfully until her admission to the Louisa Health and Rehab Center. Proceeding the Louisa Health and Rehab Center, the JABA Day Care was a second home to her. She loved their caring staff and socializing with the other clients often. Even though she had a quiet spirit, she had a way of stealing your heart when you met her; therefore, she made many friends. Her gift and ability to spoil and rock to sleep many children allowed her to call them all "grandma's babies." Her favorite pastimes were sewing, making yo-yo spreads, watching "Touched By An Angel," listening to the Word Network, and singing at family functions upon request. Other favorites included hard candy, Mentos mints, beets, sweet potatoes and taking any road trip she could heading to either Charlottesville, Virginia, or Maryland, with her bags packed.
She leaves many affectionate hearts to mourn her loss and imitate her example including a devoted, caring, faithful and loving daughter, Diane Comfort (Frank Jr.); two granddaughters, Angela Brown (Geoffey) and Anita Comfort (Nathaniel Herbert); one God-grandson, Rodney Gatewood; eight great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 14, 2017, at Eagle Baptist Church, 4683 Mt. Airy Road, Louisa, Virginia, 23093, with the Rev. Roger Braxton officiating. Interment will follow in the church cemetery.
Arrangements are being made by D. D. Watson Mortician, Inc., Louisa.
