With grateful hearts, we honor and give thanks to God for the life of Reverend Joseph T. Williams, a devoted servant of the Lord whose faith guided every season of his life.
Reverend Williams faithfully served God and His people as a pastor, a former Hawthorne City Commissioner and Vice Mayor, and a World War II veteran, answering both the call of country and the higher call of Christ.
He was a loving husband, devoted father, cherished grandfather, caring brother, and uncle, whose life reflected humility, prayer, and unwavering faith. His legacy of service, leadership, and love will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
Please join us as we come together in love and remembrance to celebrate a life well lived and a legacy that will live on for generations.
Well done, thou good and faithful servant… enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
-Matthew 25:21
