Lillian Virginia Williams

Lillian Virginia Williams peacefully returned to the Lord at

her home in Moreno Valley, California on Monday, August

7, 2017. Lillian was born on October 31, 1934 in

Readyville, Tennessee, to King Swarford and Lillie Frances

Swarford (Robinson). Lillian graduated from Holloway High

School in Rutherford County, Tennessee in 1953. On

September 11, 1955, Lillian married United States Air

Force serviceman Richard Houston Williams of Alabama in

Rutherford County, Tennessee, and together during their

62-year marriage, they had two children, Deborah Althea

Williams and Richard Houston Williams, Junior ("Rick"). As

an Air Force family, Lillian and her family traveled all over

the world, including the island of Guam. Through it all,

Lillian remained the spiritual and emotional center of the

family. Lillian was a homemaker who successfully juggled

time at home and worked for over 20 years at the

Broadway in retail sales. Lillian was an avid bowler, who

also was very passionate about her Christian faith, never

missing an opportunity to give thanks and to serve others.

She will be greatly missed. Lillian is survived by her

husband, Richard; her two children, Deborah and Rick (Teri

Brister); her four grandchildren, Erika Lynn Williams, Carrie

Brister (Krejdovsky), Shondel Brister, and Payton Mychal

Williams, Sr., and her great-grandchildren, Sydney, Briana,

Payton Jr., Jacob, Carrisa, Evan, and Eva, along with

many cousins and a large contingent of loving friends.

Lillian is also survived by her beloved sisters, Dorothy and

Bobbie, and was preceded in death by her brother, James.

The family would also like to thank Daetrice "DeDe"

Stallworth and Cynthia "Cindy" Gonzales for their

meticulous and loving care of Lillian during her final days. A

viewing of Lillian will be held at Miller Jones Mortuary, 1835

N. Perris Blvd., Perris, California on Tuesday, August 15,
