Stephanie Williams

Stephanie Cheyenne Quiller Williams, was born on May 27, 1986, in Ft. Riley, Kansas to Carl Stephan Quiller and Portia Martin Quiller. Stephanie transitioned to be with the Lord on Saturday, September 14, 2019.

As a child, Stephanie embraced her creativity by taking violin lessons and dance classes. She often enjoyed creating plays and dances with her sisters at home to entertain their family. During the family dinners at her grandmother’s house, she gained a greater appreciation for the outdoors. It wouldn’t be surprising to find her and her sisters in the woods discovering nature. Stephanie was a 2004 graduate of Dutch Fork High School. Her initial career interest was nursing. She completed an Associate in Arts degree at Midlands Technical College. Stephanie earned the Life Scholarship and furthered her education at Columbia College where she received her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology.

She had a strong love for her children and family. She also loved painting, creating music, poetry, history, and baking. Stephanie was an avid Carolina Panthers fan and enjoyed USC football.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Dorothy and Elijah Martin and her paternal grandfathers, Johnny Carthon and James Hayes.

In addition to her parents, she is survived by her two daughters, Natalie Grace Williams and Olivia Noelle Williams; a special daughter, Aaliyah Simone Williams; sisters, Carla Quiller and LaDonna (Jonathan) Samuels; niece, Jada Samuels; paternal grandmothers, Margaret Carthon and Marjorie Hayes; aunts and uncles: Tracey (Subrena) Weathers, William Dexter (Deanna) Johnson, Adrienne Carthon, Joyce M. (Johnny) Norris, Bessie M. (John) Jowers, and Lucy Ann Martin and many other relatives and friends. Stephanie will be greatly missed. We earnestly thank the LORD as we remember her beautiful life.
