Mr. Donnie Williams departed this life on Saturday, June 12, 2021, at the Fairview Park Hospital in Dublin, Georgia. Graveside funeral services were held on Sunday, June 20, 2021 at 2:00 P.M. at the Bold Spring Baptist Church in Sandersville with Reverend Henry L. Tanner officiating.
Mr. Donnie Williams was born on January 23, 1962 in Washington County to the parentage of the late Mr. Emanuel Williams, Sr. and the late Mrs. Vilene Poole Williams. Donnie was the fourth youngest son of their children. At an early age, he accepted Christ into his life when he joined the Bold Spring Baptist Church. He attended the public schools of Washington County and graduated in the Class of 1980. Donnie was employed with the Citgo Quik Mart for more than 20 years until his health began to decline. He was always one to lend a helping hand whenever needed and enjoyed making everyone laugh with something he would say or do. Donnie had a huge personality and loved people.
He was preceded in death by four brothers, Mr. Charlie Poole, Mr. Emanuel Williams, Jr., Mr. Clayton Williams, Sr., and his twin brother, Mr. Ronnie Williams; and God-brother, Mr. Steven Jackson. Undoubtedly, Donnie has joined the heavenly cloud of witnesses along with his parents, his brothers and grandparents.
However, the memories he leaves behind will forever be cherished by his sisters, Mrs. Patricia (Jimmie) Johnson, Lithonia, Mrs. Debra (Leroy) Williams, Conyers, and Ms. Yvette Reese, Tucker; three brothers, Mr. Bobby Lee (Dianne) Williams, Mr. Eric Williams, and Mr. Jason Williams, Sandersville; one aunt, Ms. Mary Alice Martin, Soperton; two uncles, Mr. Lee Arthur (Ruby) Williams and Mr. Clarence Williams, Sandersville; sister-in-law, Ms. JoAnn Poole, Sandersville; and several nieces, nephews, other loved ones and friends, including a devoted friend, Mr. Thomas Parker, Sandersville.
