Obituary For April Delaine Williams
April Delaine Williams, 72, was a daughter of the late Jessie Williams Jr. and Irene Houze Williams.
April attended J.J. Clinton Elementary, Barr Street Junior High and Lancaster High School and graduated in 1971. She attended Denmark Tech and Columbia School of Business after graduating from high school.
April was a talented singer, she sang with different bands across South and North Carolina. If you did not see her, you would have thought it was the great Chaka Khan singing. Her voice stood out.
She was featured on an ETV show while living in Atlanta, Georgia for a few years. Later, the show was picked up by WIS TV in Columbia, SC. She was employed at Coke Cola United Company in Atlanta, Georgia for many years in the Administrative Department.
April was a giving, caring person to all who spent time with her. She had a very special friend, Sandra H. Robinson who she was very fond of from Junior high to the day she passed. April loved God and she was dedicated to Christianity.
Those left to cherish fond memories are four uncles, James Williams of Lancaster, SC, David (Ann) Williams and Rothell (Marcellus) Williams of Charlotte, NC and John (Shirley) Houze of Richmond, Virginia; two aunts, Dorothy Fletcher of Lancaster, SC and Naomi Worthy of Charlotte, NC, many relatives, friends, and a special friend Sandra H. Robinson.
