Stella Williams
October 9, 1935 ~ January 9, 2025
Stella Lee Williams, just as her name implies, was a bright and shining star – spirited, funny, courageous, and beloved. She breathed her last breath in the peaceful presence of loved ones on January 9, 2025 at the age of 89. Born on October 9, 1935, Stella grew up in Daingerfield, Texas and spent her life bringing light to the community. She was steadfast in her love for God and committed her life to serving Jesus Christ with an unwavering faith. In 1955, she married Kenneth Williams and the two enjoyed a beautiful life until his passing in 2008, including decades of devoted Air Force service and running Stella’s Grocery, a beacon of the Jenkins community. Stella also served Morris County as Justice of the Peace for several years. Her beauty, wit, and spunk charmed everyone that she met. Together, she and her husband raised three children and six grandchildren. Stella is preceded in death by her loving husband Kenneth Ray Williams, Sr., son Bobby Gerald Williams, and two siblings. She is survived by her son, Kenneth Ray Williams, Jr. and her daughter, Vicki Williams Hall, her six grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, four great-great grandchildren, and five siblings.

Rest in peace, Aunt Stella.
Stella “Mae”, as Kenneth used to call her, was a beautiful person. When we moved to Daingerfield she made us a part of her family. What an amazing cook! She was always bubbly, giggly, and kind. I used to make cookies or play the piano while they played dominoes or cards. When we needed a place to stay, she opened her home to us. We will always remember you and love you! – Loren and Karen
Thank you, Karen, for making the memories from our time together at Granny’s come alive. I remember all of those things fondly. We love y’all. Thank you again for sharing. You described well the woman who helped raise me.
