Dannie "Doc" R. Williams

Dannie "Doc" R. Williams, age 77, passed away on Wednesday, August 21, 2025. He is survived by his loving daughter, Kathleen (Jared) West; and brothers, Larry (Kate) Williams and Mike (Gina) Wilson. He was preceded in death by his wife of 17 years, Rose Ann Williams; parents, Oral Williams and Dorothy Wilson; and brother, Oral "Bud" Williams.
