She was the youngest of 8 children – Ceola Blackstone, Olivia Williams, Stella Williams, Maude Williams, Thomas Williams, Andrew Williams, and Bud Williams. She was married to Herman Caldwell (deceased in 2003).

She was a loving mother, a survivor, courageous, strong, supportive, resourceful and extremely resilient. She had many gifts – singing, sewing, hair styling, cooking. She was handy and enjoyed beautifying her home. She was a self taught interior decorator with exceptional taste. She loved to have fun and was known for her quick wit. She had a good sense of humor and her beautiful smile and hearty laugh would fill up a room.

She was loved by her family and everyone called her Mommie, even the neighborhood children.

She is survived by 6 children. Rosemary Abrams, Edith Horn, Tommy Abrams, Johnnie Abrams, Melernease Abrams, and Barbara Holmes.

She is survived by 7 grandchildren and over 14 great/great grandchildren.

Farewell our dear Mommie, you were a force to be reckoned with. We love you and will remember you always. Your work here is done.

Rest in peace dear Mother.
