Lucille (Russ) Williams
On Tuesday, August 7, Willie Lucille Russ Williams, 91, was called to her heavenly home.
A lifetime resident of Telfair County, Mrs. Williams was born on June 1, 1921, in the Grahamville Community, to Jasper Quincy Russ, Sr. and Sarah (Sadie) Graham Russ. She attended Uniondale and Workmore Schools in Telfair County. Mrs. Williams was the widow of William C. (Bill) Williams and lived in Lumber City for many years. A faithful member of Lumber City United Methodist Church, United Methodist Women, Lumber City Womans Club, and other community organizations, she was President and Chairperson of the Board of the Bank of Lumber City.
Mrs. Williams loved to travel and enjoyed music. She attended Senior Citizens’ Lunch and was an avid bingo participant.
