Myra Williams Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Southern Mississippi Funeral Services on Mar. 4, 2026.
Sunrise: April 22, 1941 Sunset: February 28, 2026. It is with great sadness that the family of Myra Nell Williams announces her passing.

Myra Williams, 84, passed peacefully on February 28, 2026. Born on April 22, 1941, Myra lived a life centered on faith, family, and love. A devoted wife, mother, and friend, Myra was a proud homemaker who found her greatest joy in caring for her family.

She was married for 66 beautiful years to her beloved husband, A. J. Williams, who preceded her in death.

She was also preceded in death by her parents, Elmer Pennington and Eva Estelle Pennington, and her brothers, Jerry, James, and Billy Pennington.

Myra was a loving mother to Greg Williams (Melissa), Wanda Suggs, and Chris Williams (Tabitha). She was also a cherished grandmother to Brooklyn Williams, Catelyn Williams, Sierra Courtney, Jackson Williams, Allison Williams, and Carly Williams. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she treasured every moment spent with them. Myra will be remembered for her gentle spirit, kind heart, and the steady love she gave so freely to all who knew her. Her legacy lives on in the family she nurtured and the memories they will forever hold close.

"Her life was a blessing, her memory a treasure, and she will be deeply missed."

A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, March 11, 2026 at 10:00am at Biloxi National Cemetery.
