Obituary

Lula Lee Williams was born to Edgar Sr. and Gussie Doss on December 14, 1932, in Fayette, Mississippi. Lula accepted Christ at an early age and dedicated her life in serving Him. She dedicated her early years to raising her siblings. On May 29, 1949, she married Sam Mack Williams, Sr. With whom she loved and cherished for 57 years, until his death. To this union, seven wonderful children were born.

After moving to Shankleville, TX, she became a faithful member of Shankleville Church of God under the current leadership of Pastor Thomas Riggins. There, she served as treasurer and secretary for over 60 years. She was an active member in the Shankleville Community as part of the Shankleville Community Choir, Mission Board, and Shankleville Vacation Bible School. When not present at the Shankleville Church of God, she also went time worshipping at other community churches including Mount Hope Baptist Church and Methodist Church. She retired from Burkeville Independent School District after 21 years of service. In her spare time, she was known as a talented seamstress.

2 Timothy 4:7-8: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
