Ida Carrie Johnson Williams

Ida Carrie Johnson Williams was born on August 8, 1935, in Macon, Georgia. After combating several health issues, she succumbed to death peacefully on  Saturday, December 10, 2022, in her sleep at her home. She was predeceased by her husband of 62 years, Clarence J. Williams and her mother Ethel Johnson.

Ida was always concerned for the welfare of others. Her caring attitude was displayed in her secular career as a nurses’ aide at Monmouth Medical Center, in Long Branch, New Jersey. The most demonstrative display of Ida’s concern for others was spiritually. She was baptized along with her husband, as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, on January 28, 1961. Because of her love for her God Jehovah, she assisted many persons to develop their own personal relationship with God. One young lady who recently dedicated herself to Jehovah said that Ida’s many years of patient, loving concern for her helped her reach this decision.

Ida was extremely hospitable; her home was always open, and visitors were welcomed warmly. She displayed special attention to those who did not have their own families nearby; many young ones became part of the Williams Family for various lengths of time. Ida’s approachable, calm and non-judgmental manner caused many to seek life’s advice from her. She always directed such seekers to the principles from God’s word the Bible because she knew that this was the only way for successful living.

She was a great cook, was fun-loving, had a sense of humor and enjoyed playing cards and scrabble. Ida was a true Georgia Peach.

Left to cherish her memory are her four children, Robert (Susie), Ronald (Silka), Colleen, and Dinah Williams. Cousins: Ross, Leta, Linda, and Vertdell (Chubby). Honorary daughters: Lynn Garrett, Robin Luis, Lucille Tillman,  Michele Roundtree, Brenda Randolph,  and Allyson (Smoochie) Lynn  Hall-Miller, Camellia Hyman, as well as a host of spiritual sons, daughters and friends.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 24, 2022,  at the Blackstone Kingdom Hall of Jehovah Witnesses,  3013 Cottage Road, Blackstone, VA 23824.
