Obituary For Anna Maria Williams

Anna Maria Williams was born in Mobile, AL on September 18, 1958. On July 14, 2023, she broke free of her earthly chains and returned to her Lord in Heaven. She was the eldest of ten kids. Her brothers Winiford Barnes, Kevin Barnes, Kenneth Barnes, Thomas Barnes, and Sean Payne will usher her home alongside her sisters, Angela Barnes, Denise Wilson, and Jacinta Bouvay and a host of beloved nieces and nephews. Her brother Bruce Barnes waits to greet her at Heaven’s gates with their mother, Luerether Barnes.

Anna was known for her hard work and dedication to excellence. She graduated both Mattie T. Blount High School and Alabama State University near the top of her class. Her career in accounting mirrored similar successes. She received numerous promotions, culminating in her retiring as Director of Finance Accounting and Administration.

Though her individual successes brought her pride, the most important thing to her was family. She leaves her love and legacy with her three children, Tomicka Barnes, Tabatha (Brad) Cook, and Joshua (Katie) Williams, and her beautiful grandchildren, Grayson, Hartley, Graham, Henley, Aiden, and Avery. Anna passed speaking that love to all of them.

We remember Anna as a force for good. She had the kindest spirit and a heart full of charity – the purest love of Christ. With heavy hearts, we lay her to rest on July 20, 2023.
