WILMINGTON — Mable Marie Williams, 93, passed away Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2019, at Lower Cape Fear Hospice Care Center, Wilmington.
She was born Feb. 18, 1926, in Wilmington, daughter of the late William Louis Fryar and Pearl Estelle Greene Fryar. She was preceded in death by her husband, Elijah B. Williams; three sisters and two brothers; and granddaughter, Priscilla.
Mrs. Williams is survived by her son, Larry Williams, and his wife, Genia; daughters, Brenda Clark, Angela Boswell, and her husband, Harold, and Lisa Otis; grandchildren, Paul Williams (Krishna), Keith Williams (April), Christy Eskridge (Bill), Jeff Boswell, Chris Boswell (Lorrie), Matthew Boswell (Erin) and Jay Roland Otis II; and great-grandchildren, Walker Williams, Emiley Williams, Elijah Williams, Merritt Williams, West Eskridge, Benjamin Eskridge, Abigail Boswell, Isabelle Boswell, Kaylee Tackett and Benjamin Tackett.
“She opens her mouth with wisdom and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” Proverbs 31:26. Mable Marie Williams, Marie or Grandma, to those who knew her best, was a caring and gentle woman who always had a kind word and a happy story to share. She was a devoted woman of God who lived her life to honor the Lord and served those that she loved. She loved to laugh and spend time with her family. She made sure no one ever left her house hungry or empty handed. She made the most of her 93 ½ (she never let you forget the ½) years on this earth and has left a legacy of love, honor and grace that will not be forgotten.
The family will receive friends from 10 to 10:45 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 21, 2019, at Andrews Valley Chapel. Immediately following the visitation, a graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. at Greenlawn Memorial Park in Wilmington. The Rev. Hugh Folds will officiate the service.
