Virgil David Williams

Virgil David Williams passed away on June 14, 2026, at the age of 83. While his earthly body may be dead, Virgil’s spirit is very much alive and present with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Virgil was born on Jun 27, 1942 in Palmer Township, Ohio, the youngest child and only son of Waldo Williams and Clara Morgan Williams.  

Virgil faithfully served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.  During basic training at Fort Benning, GA, he met his beloved Sarah, and they married in May 1965. 

Virgil was a dedicated husband and father, and was a loyal worker all his life.  He spent many years as a meat cutter in grocery stores, retiring from Ingles.  He was very active in church and community, serving as a deacon and head of coffee, tea and lemonade at Bethlehem Baptist in Clarkesville, and as a volunteer driver for Habersham County’s Meals on Wheels program.  Virgil truly embodied serving others as our Lord demonstrated.

Virgil had the earthly sorrow of losing many dear family members, including Sarah, his wife of 49 years, his parents, sisters and many others. 

Family members left to carry on are daughter Judy Williams, son Michael Williams, daughter Nancy Boger (Keith), granddaughter Danielle Carson (Tony), great grandson Xavier Carson, sister-in-law Peggy Strawder, along with many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews, and cherished friends.

A celebration of life will be held at 1:00 PM, Thursday, June 18, 2026 at Bethlehem Baptist Church.  Burial with military honors will follow the service at Hillside Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends at Bethlehem Baptist Church on Thursday, prior to the service from 12:00 PM until 1:00 PM.
