Williams is survived by her husband, James R. Williams, as well as children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. The obituary lists her past employment with Camp Mt. Luther, Moore Business Forms and Milton Standard, reflecting a lifetime of work linked to institutions and employers that have played a role in the local economy and community life.

Funeral arrangements and guidance on memorial gifts are being handled by Roupp Funeral Home.

Community members seeking details about services or memorial contributions are asked to contact Roupp Funeral Home directly for the most current information.

Williams contributions outside the household included years of work at Camp Mt. Luther and employment at two area firms, Moore Business Forms and Milton Standard, where she joined many area residents who supported local manufacturing and service employers through the late twentieth century and into the present. Her church affiliation with Hillside Bible Church connected her to a network of neighbors and volunteers, and that presence will be felt in regular worship and community activities following her death.

For many in Union County, obituaries like this one mark more than an individual life. They document family continuity, labor histories and patterns of local civic engagement. Williams leaves a multigenerational family and a record of ties to local organizations that have shaped everyday life in Mifflinburg. For service times, memorial instructions and other arrangements, Roupp Funeral Home is overseeing final plans and will provide details to friends and relatives.
