Obituary For Linda Williams
Linda Lisa Williams, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, was called to her eternal rest on October 14, 2025, at the age of 62, after a short battle with breast cancer.
She was born in Hampton County, South Carolina, on May 25, 1963, to the late Henry and the late Oneal J. Williams. Linda was a proud lifelong resident of the area she always called home. She graduated from Wade Hampton High School, Class of 1981. She remained a dedicated member of their reunion committee for many years. In a testament to her belief in lifelong learning, Linda proudly earned her Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from the University of South Carolina in 2020. She dedicated 20 years of her career to The State Newspaper before retiring in 2008. She was a hard worker who was respected and loved by her colleagues.
Her faith was the foundation of her life. Linda was a devoted member of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, Brunson, SC, where she joyfully served on the women's ministry until her health no longer allowed her to do so.
To know Linda was to be engaged in a joyful conversation; she loved to talk and never met a stranger or someone she was unwilling to help. Even in her later years, she was known as the life of the party. At the nursing facility, she was always found near the activity center, likely racking up her latest bingo winnings. Her vibrant spirit and deep faith brought light and laughter to everyone around her.
She was the heart of a large and loving family. Her greatest pride was her daughter, Me'Khayla Williams (Irene Beauvais-Williams). She was a doting grandmother to Tyrese Sanders and was joyfully awaiting the arrival of her second grandchild, Kingsley.
In addition to her parents, Linda is preceded in death by seven of her fourteen siblings.
She leaves to cherish her astonishing legacy: Loving Daughter: Me'Khayla (Irene Beauvais) Williams; (1) Loving Grandson: Tyrese Sanders; and his mother Aria'na Taylor; (5) Sisters: Patricia (Tracy) Miller, Minnie, and Carolyn Williams, Brindia Bryant, and Lena Lee; (3) Brothers, James (Annie Pearl) Butler, Charles (Betty) Butler, and Henry (Patricia) Williams; (2) Godchildren: Melanie (Rashad) Bass and Ashley Stokes (1) Loving Aunt: Margaret Major; She will also be dearly missed by those she held as chosen family, Cindy (Chris) Collins, and Kendra Mole. A host of loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and sympathizing friends.
Please remember to keep the Williams family lifted in prayer.

My name is Kendra, and I had the honor of being Linda's caregiver for many years. Our time together never felt like work — it felt like home. We shared love, laughter, tears, and countless memories. From our long talks to our road trips, every moment was special. I will deeply miss her presence. Rest peacefully, Linda, until we meet again."

My name is Claudia Slater. I worked as Linda's Community Long Term Care Case Manager for several years. I was always impressed with her tenacity to keep going, participating in church activities. I was most impress with Linda's decision to go back to school and pursue a degree in Criminology. We had conversations about how useful her new skillset could be use in identifying cyber criminals. She was always so proud of her daughter Makayla. I met Makayla and I became impressed with her and her accomplishments while providing intense oversight of her mother's care.
There are no words that can explain my love for Linda, she was the best of the best of friends I've ever had. I have so many memories of her. She will be truly missed. My favorite memory of her was when Khayla was born and she was so happy! Linda was definitely a Blessing from God in my life. Rest in Heaven my sister/friend. Love you always, Cindy
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
