Phyllis Williams

Phyllis was a life-long Texan, born in Temple, Texas on August 25, 1944. She grew up in Bartlett where she attended Bartlett schools and was still very close to several of her school chums. She was baptized in the First Baptist Church and she was an active member until her death.

Her faith and family and church family were the most important parts of her life, but she also had many other interests. She was very creative and artistic and she painted beautiful pieces of art for her family and community. She loved using her artistic gifts to decorate for banquets at church, the “Friendship Fest” parade, and many other community events.

Phyllis was a business owner in Bartlett for almost thirty years, PJ’’s Hair Fashions was not only a place of business but also a place of fellowship. Phyllis considered her clients her friends.

Phyllis is preceded in death by her parents, A.W. and Doris Townsend Richey, her brother, Oel (Bubby) Richey and her little grandson, Joseph Williams.

To cherish her memory Phyllis leaves behind four children; daughter, Tammy and Ricky Hicks of Georgetown; son, Jimmy and Maria Williams of Taylor; son, Warren and Jennifer Williams of Salado; daughter, Candi and Patrick Stoglin of Hutto. Phyllis also leaves behind eleven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, as well as, five brothers and five sisters.

Serving as pallbearers are her sons-in-law, Ricky Hicks and Patrick Stoglin; three grandsons, James Williams, Jackson Hicks, and Kofi Stoglin and her friend, Chad Mees.

Phyllis had a beautiful life filled with wonderful friends. This was very evident when during her illness so many people hurried to offer their help. A special thank you goes to the ladies of the church and friends who continually showed their love and concern for her during her illness and to the lovely and gentle hospice nurses that cared for her and her family. A very special thank you goes to her friend, Krin Dawson Spin, who she met in the church nursery when they were babies years ago. Her constant love and attention was a testament to true friendship and Christian charity.
