Lucille Williams

Lucille Williams, a cherished matriarch and devoted caretaker, departed from this world on April 12, 2025, at the age of 74. Born October 24, 1950, Lucille was a guiding light to her family and a source of unwavering love and support throughout her life.

Her career paths led her to become a caring nursing assistant and an office assistant, where she exemplified dedication and compassion in every role she undertook. Yet, it is the selfless nurturing of her family that remains her proudest accomplishment. Lucille dedicated her entire life to creating and cultivating a family that she loved unconditionally, impacting the lives of those around her in profound ways.

Lucille pursued her education with diligence, graduating from Rosa A. Temple High School and later achieving her degree from Olive Harvey College. Her steadfast commitment to personal growth mirrored the fervor with which she approached her role as a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

She leaves behind an illustrious legacy, including her beloved husband, Robert Lee Williams; her devoted daughter, Rhonda Battle; and her sons, Kevin Williams, Sr., and Reginald Williams. Lucille’s spirit will live on through her granddaughters, Briana Clark, Kazarria Williams, and Lakelyn Williams; her grandsons, Orion Williams, D’Anfernee Battle, Sr., Rashad Williams, and Kevin Williams, Jr.; as well as her great-granddaughter, Kamarre Clark, and great-grandsons, D’anfernee Battle, Jr., and Messiah Battle.

She was preceded in death by her baby brother, Leon Gipson; her father, Alex Gipson, Sr.; her brothers, Alex Gipson, Jr., and Aaron Gipson; her mother, Mary Lou Gipson; and her nephew, Deshun Robinson. While these individuals may be gone, their memories will forever intertwine with the fabric of Lucille’s enduring legacy.
