Joyce Williamson Williams

Joyce was known for her love of traveling to the beach and Smokey Mountains with family and friends. She loved Alabama Football and the Atlanta Braves. Her grandchildren could always count on her to be at any event, no matter what, when, or where. But the highlight of her week was cooking Sunday dinners for the entire family and having everyone together under one roof. Joyce was a faithful member of Gilgal Baptist Church for 42 years, of which she kept the nursery for 38 of those years and loved on every child that attended.

Joyce is preceded in death by her father, Marion Williamson Jr; mother, Lattie Williamson; sister, Katherine Andrews and her spouse, Jerry B. Williams. She is survived by her daughter, Demetrice (Ricky) Davis of Tuscaloosa; son, Tony (Jackie) B Williams of Tuscaloosa; sister, Judy (Jerry) Speed of Dothan, AL; brother-in-law, Billy Andrews; grandchildren, Cory (Lesley) Davis, Chase (Sarah) Davis, Dillon (Chloe) Williams and Kelsey (Chris) Gomez; great-grandchildren, Chandler Davis, Peyton Davis, Saylor Davis, and Isaac Gomez, along with several cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Cory Davis, Chase Davis, Dillon Williams, Chris Gomez, Billy Wayne Andrews, and Tom Ward will be pallbearers. Linda Lindsey, Patsy Lawrence, Sara Taylor, Tom & Kay Ward, Hamrick Highlands, Moundville Rehab, and Nursing Home will serve as Honorary Pallbearers.

The family will receive friends on Monday, May 1, 2023, at Memory Chapel Funeral Home from 10:00 am until 11:00 am. The Graveside Service will begin at 11:00 am at Memory Hill Gardens—Rev. Bart Latner is officiating. Instead of flowers, the family requests donations to Moundville Rehab & Nursing Home, Hospice of West Alabama, or your favorite charity.
