Jimmie Williams Obituary

Jimmie Williams, age 81, passed away peacefully on March 10, surrounded by his loved ones. He was born on June 22, 1944 to the late James Williams and Rosa Carmichael Williams.

He was a hard -working and dedicated man who spent many years serving his community. Jimmie drove a school bus for Montgomery County Schools, where he was known for his kindness and dedication to the many students he transported over the years. He was also the owner of Gateway Farm Supply, serving local farmers and neighbors with pride. For more than 20 years he worked as a farmer, a life that reflected his deep love for the land and the outdoors.

A faithful member of Gateway Church of God for over 30 years, he devoted much of his time caring for the church property, always willing to lend a hand wherever it was needed.
