T iny Joyce Dail Williams (1934 - 2023)

Joyce Williams, 89,  transtioned from this life to her eternal home on Monday, May 29, from Wallace Health & Rehab, where she had been a patient for several months.

She was preceeded in death by: husband, Samuel H. Williams; parents, Quince and Verline Sholar Dail; and seven brothers and one sister.

Joyce was known by many titles: wife, Mama, Grandma, Mema, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend.

She was a homemaker for most of her life but also was a farm hand and caregiver. Many people pulled up a chair to Joyce's table to enjoy a meal or slice of cake as she was a fabulous cook and baker. Everything she cooked was good. She enjoyed embrodiery and gardening, having a beautiful vegetable garden as long as her health permitted.

Joyce attended Chinquapin School and was a member of the Class of 52. She married Samuel Hopkins Williams in 1954 and they began a life together that lasted 40 years until Sam's passing. Joyce attended Hallsville Baptist church for many years where she was actively involved in WMU and enjoyed trips to Camp Caswell. She loved to travel often going with her brother, Junie,  to Maine,  her son, Bennett, to the mountains, and her daughters, Sandra and Bonnie, to "the Walmart."
