Obituary published on Legacy.com by Wilkes Funeral Home - Vidalia on Jan. 8, 2026.
Ms. Susan Copeland Williamson, age 56, of Lyons, passed away on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at her home. She was born on January 26, 1969, to Faye and Carlos Lee Copeland, was a lifelong resident of Toombs County, and attended Lotts Creek Church of God. Susan was a loving mom and "gam-ma," making sure everyone knew she was "The Baby Sister," and found the most joy in spoiling her grandson, Cayson. Susan enjoyed going on her "sisters' trip" all over the country with her three sisters and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Carlos Lee Copeland Jr., daughter-in-law, Jessica "JJ" Williamson, and niece, Haylee Nicole.

Ms. Williamson is survived by her two sons, Cameron Williamson and wife Jessica, and CJ Williamson, all of Lyons; husband, Robert Williamson, of Lyons; three sisters, Bernadine C. Barwick, Carla C. Hayes and husband Pablo, and Tammy C. Wilkes and husband Randy, and sister-in-law, Nancille Copeland, all of Lyons; two grandchildren, Cayson Williamson and Kaelee Holcombe of Lyons, and several nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Friday evening from 5:00 to 7:00.

The funeral service will be held on Saturday, January 10th, at 11:00 am in the chapel of Wilkes Funeral Home with Pastors Steven Toole, Ricky McCarty, and Billy Goodwin officiating. Burial will follow in Old Mount Zion Cemetery.

The pallbearers are Fate Carroll, Philip Copeland, Robert Herndon, Josh Hayes, Jordan Wilkes, Cameron Williamson, Carlee Gonzalez, and Brittany Copeland.
