Marianne V. Williams, 88, of Hot Springs passed away August 15, 2019. She was born to the late Alfred and Mathilde Steinhauser in Vohringen, Germany. As a young girl, Marianne witnessed history as Germany, struggling still to recover from the ravages of WWI, was once again in the depths of a world war.
A young war bride, Marianne found joy in making a loving home for her children Robert (Gloria) Williams, Donald Williams, and Christine (Jason) Silbulkin. She loved her grandchildren Brittney Griffin, April Roland, and Will Williams dearly.
Marianne will be remembered for her meticulously kept yard, her love of fabulous hats, her enduring friendships, and all the things she said in German - especially what she was willing to translate.
The family would like to thank Marianne’s dearest friend, Ilsa Strizke, for the unconditional kindness she showed to them all and also the staff at Quapaw Nursing Home for their compassionate and tender care.
