Louise Mae Williams

Our mother fought a long hard fight for her life as she battled the notorious "Coronavirus" that scarred her lungs irreparable.

Job 27:3 states: All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils are the words of our mother as she transitioned to her new life on June 25, 2021, at 1:33 p.m. in Richardson, Texas.

Mrs. Louise Mae Washington Williams was born on October 13, 1944, to the late Mrs. Irene McDaniel Verdun and the late Mr. Leroy Washington, Sr. in Oak Bluff, Louisiana. In 1962, she married her high school sweetheart, Clarence Williams and again in 2013 as God proved his word will never return void. (Isaiah 55:11). To this union, (4) children were born: Tony, Clara, Michelle, & Tammy.

Upon relocating to Franklin, Louise was baptized in 1955 by Reverend Octave Vincent at Triumph Baptist Church, where she remained a lifetime member under the tutelage Pastor Carl F. Lewis. She served and supported a variety of ministries including becoming a deaconess of the church.

Louise, also known to many as "Lou Mae" would like you to know that her work here in the city of Franklin is done. She received a special offer that was too good to refuse. She was asked to start this new assignment immediately.  In this new assignment, she will be smiling with that big and beautiful smile as she often did with the locals, she will besocializing like she did at Broussard Harris Recreation Center, she will be  dancing as she steps in the name of love to RKellys, teaching like she did at Williams' Day Care Center, sewing as she learned while working in fabrics at Wal-Mart, networking as she did while working at Sager Brown and being a "boss" like she did as the owner of Little Bo-Peep Day Care Center.
