ROCKY MOUNT - Gail Brown Williams, age 71, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday, June 13, 2020. Born in Edgecombe County, NC on September 30, 1948, she was the daughter of the late Lonnie Brown and Dehurse Ramsey Brown. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Mary "Sissy" Brown Tharrington and her husband, Roy, Jr.; her in-laws, JT and Inez Williams.
Gail was a longtime member of Parkwood Baptist Church. A woman of great faith, she loved her church and church family. Gail lived a life that reflected the love of Jesus to the world. She had a servant's heart, always taking care of her family and friends when in need, even if it was just her presence in the background. Gail was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother and will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved her, but her loving spirit will never be forgotten as she was everything to her family.
Gail leaves behind to cherish her memory, husband of 52 years, Joe Williams, of Rocky Mount; son, Ashley Williams and his wife, Tammy. She is also survived by her special grandchildren, Ty and Landis Williams, all of Raleigh; special friends, Shirley Edmondson and Linda Pridgen, but everyone was special to her.

Joe, I was so shocked when my sister Dolly told me about the passing of Shirley. I will always remember her beautiful smile and her loving spirit. She was one of a kind. The last time I saw Shirley, she Linda and Shirley came in Belk. We all got to laughing and cutting up. Shirley could light up the darkest room or cloudy date with her loving charm. God wanted a new angel and he certainly got one with Shirley. You are certainly in my prayers. May God give you strength now and the days ahead.
