Elizabeth Williams Franklin Lott, affectionately known as “Kidd”, began her life’s journey on August 27, 1927 in Goliad, Texas. She was the 9th of 11 children born to the late Robert and Viola Moore Williams.

She accepted and professed her love of Jesus Christ as her savior at an early age and united with Minnehulla Baptist Church in Goliad, Texas, where she was a deaconess, a member of the usher board and sang in the church choir. She remained a faithful member until her death.

Her elementary and high school years were spent in the segregated schools of Goliad, Texas. She won numerous spelling bees as an elementary student, was a high school cheerleader and participated in sports (basketball). She was a housewife and loving mother to 12 children.

She was united in holy matrimony to Earl Lott on January 4, 1984.

Among her most significant attributes were her kind and compassionate nature, sweet spirit, gorgeous smile and timeless beauty. She loved music and loved to laugh. She was a supportive and loyal woman and an inspiration. Her greatest joys in life were her family and friends. She was a faithful wife, a loving mother and grandmother, a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend.
