Fay Alvin Williams

Vivian, LA ~ Heaven got a little sweeter July 7, 2014, as our Heavenly Father called home Fay Alvin Williams after a brief illness. Fay was surrounded by his loving family as he stepped into eternity.

Funeral services celebrating his life will be held Thursday, July 10, 2014 at 2:00 pm at Rose-Neath Funeral Home, Vivian, LA with Rev. Wayne Shew, pastor of Gray Baptist Church officiating with Pastor Ronald Dunn, pastor of Fresh Oil Church assisting. Interment will follow at the Gray Cemetery with full military rites.

He proudly served his country as a medic in the United States Army during Vietnam stationed in Germany. He was also a member of the Jefferson Masonic Lodge since 1964. Music was a big part of his life, and he was pickin' and grinnin' from an early age. He could play any instrument with a string attached to it. Fay was the best guitar picker in this part of the country. The only thing more important than music in his life, was his family and his faith.

Fay was preceded in death by his parents, Earl Thomas Williams and Monzine Smith Williams; his infant daughter, Toni Michelle Williams and childhood friend and buddy, Clyde Stevens.

He is survived by his soul mate, Lola Stevens Williams, who is his wife of almost four years, and the one he laughed with everyday. After many years of friendship, Fay and Lola found love and happiness together; two daughters, Stacie Renee and husband, Michael Kinney of Jefferson, Kristi Jo Williams Hale of Bloomburg, TX; his step-children, Clyde Stevens, Jr of Jefferson, Sherry Stevens Rice, Chris Stevens, and Andy Stevens all of Vivian, LA; one granddaughter, Kaitlyn (Katy-Lyn) Renee Hale, two grandsons, David Nicholas Hale and Christopher Craig Hale all of Bloomburg, TX. Fay is also survived by his brother, Earl Dale Williams and wife, Debbie of Haughton, LA, one sister, Dorothy Jean Williams Byerley and husband, Dickey of Vivian, LA, five nieces, two nephews and a host of friends.

Pallbearers will be John Young, Wesley Nutt, David Pearson, Tim Florence, Cody Joe Teer, Barry Headrick and Richie Byerley. Honorary pallbearers will be Kaitlyn, Nick, Christopher, Bubba, Sherry, Chris and Andy.
