Margaret Mae Simmons Williams was a faithful member of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, The Order of the Daughters of the King, and the Glory Circle, and she served her community through the Nassau County Community Development Corporation (NCCDC), the NAACP, and the Florida Retired Educators Association (FREA).

A woman of deep prayer, Margaret began and ended each day with Scripture and intercession, faithfully praying for family, friends, and anyone in need. She lovingly instilled in her children and grandchildren the importance of faith and a life of prayer.

Margaret taught in the Nassau County school system for 11 years and then served as a social worker for 27 years, treating every person with dignity and respect. She encouraged a love of reading in her grandchildren and many children in her community, and she expressed her creativity through cake decorating and flower arranging.

Committed to staying active, Margaret was a longtime member of Curves, exercising regularly well into her late 80s and continuing to keep active at home in later years. She enjoyed time with family and friends, participating in Senior Center activities, playing Solitaire and crossword puzzles, and watching her favorite game shows.

Above all, Margaret loved God and her family. She was known for her birthday phone calls, singing “Happy Birthday” to loved ones and reminding them that God loved them and so did she. She leaves a legacy of faith, kindness, and steadfast love that will be treasured by all who knew her.
