Robert B. Williams
December 17, 1939 – April 14, 2025
Robert B. Williams, beloved father, grandfather, and veteran, passed away peacefully on April 14, 2025, at the age of 85.
Born on December 17, 1939, Robert proudly served his country in the United States Air Force, where he held the rank of Airman First Class. His service was a lifelong source of pride, and he carried the values of dedication, integrity, and quiet strength into every aspect of his life.
After his military service, Robert built a successful career in telecommunications. He worked for Bell South and later AT&T, where he was known for his strong work ethic, technical skill, and calm, dependable presence.
Robert was preceded in death by his devoted wife, Nancy Williams; his daughters Carolyn Wenzel and Linda Mason; and his granddaughter Brooke Williams. He is survived by his loving daughters Deborah Carey, Nancy Brabham, and Pamela Williams, who will forever hold his memory close to their hearts.
He was a man of resilience-steadfast in his commitments, quietly wise, and deeply devoted to his family. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched, and in the love he gave so freely.
