Lottie Williams was born November 26, 1917 to John and Janie Spivey of Forest, Mississippi. Lottie was the 4th daughter out of 19 siblings. Lottie accepted Jesus Christ her Lord and Savior and was baptized at an early age in Mississippi while attending church with her parents. Lottie moved to San Francisco, California and later to Stockton; Lottie was joined in holy matrimony to Theodore Williams on April 12, 1958.
