Catherine E. Williams

It is with deep sadness that we announce the homegoing of our beloved Catherine (Terrell) Williams. Catherine was surrounded by a host of loved ones when she received her wings on October 31, 2017 at the age of 77.

The wife of late Henry L. Williams and daughter of late Robert Terrell and Grace Trotter. She was a cherished mother of Sybrina Donald, Anthony Terrell, Linda Duncan, Willie McDuffie, Minnie (Brian) Prince, Carl McDuffie, Brenda Robbins, Alvin (Crystal) Cooley, Sharon (Nathaniel Jamison) Cooley-Roberts, and (special grandson) Travin McDuffie. A dear sister of Robert (Jane Lee) Terrell Jr., Mamie Pearl Smith, James Charles (Lula) Trotter, Rosa Mae Cameron. She was preceded in death by her siblings—Ira Terrell, Bernice Jefferson, Clarence Terrell, and Isaac Terrell. She leaves a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends to mourn her wisdom.

Catherine enjoyed gardening, sewing, fishing and hosting parties for family and friends. She was an Eastern Star and had a long career of serving others as a nurse and teacher’s aide. Catherine was a dedicated church member and was referred to by all as “Bigma” because of her nurturing ways.

Mom/Bigma, because of you, we are who we are today. Thank you. We will always love and cherish you. Your smile will forever live on with us.

Services will be held at Zion Rock Missionary Baptist Church followed by the burial at Graceland Cemetery.
