The youngest of five children, Nancy met and married her high school sweetheart William Parham “Bill” Williams on March 29, 1947. After 61 years of a beautiful marriage, he preceded her in death in 2008.
Nancy was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Lake Jackson for 57 years where she was very active in Baptist Women and the missionary program. Nancy’s goal in life was to serve others, whether they be family, friends or strangers. She was known as a giver and a doer.
She is survived by three children, William P. “Bill” (Eva) Williams, Jr.; Allan Upton (Libbie) Williams and Cynthia Sue Sadler (husband William G. Compton).
Grandchildren Travis Allan (Amber) Williams; William Preston (Katie) Williams; Evala Michelle (Williams) Lubawski (Ed); Whitney Leigh (Williams) Kane (Stephen); Jack Roberts “Trey” (Lindsey) Rutherford III; William Charles “Chase” (Erin) Rutherford.
Great Grandchildren Travis Layton Williams, Hadley Quinn Williams, Jack James Rutherford, Landry Mae Rutherford, William Graham Rutherford, Wilson Grace Rutherford, Caroline Faye Kane, Brecken Ford Kane, Georgia Eve Lubawski and William Porter Williams.
Bill and Nancy Williams moved their young family to Lake Jackson in 1964 from Littleton, Colorado to become ingratiated in the DOW Chemical family. Years later they would reside in Midland Michigan, Houston Memorial and Fairfield, TX on DOW assignments before returning ‘home’ to retire in Lake Jackson.
Pallbearers are “Nana’s” grandsons Travis Williams, Preston Williams, Trey Rutherford and Chase Rutherford; Stephen Kane and Ed Lubawski. Honorary Pallbearers are lifetime family friends Alan Weddell, Bo Lander, Harold Wood, Deacon Leon Norton and Mike Funk.
One of Nancy’s greatest passions (beyond her family) was The Missionary House of First Baptist Church/ Lake Jackson. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to FBC/LJ, Missionary House Fund.
