Wayne Williams

Mr. Wayne Williams was called Home Friday, July 31, 2020, at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.  Seeing that he was weak and weary, God whispered in his ear, “Come on Home My child.”

He was born to Mr. Oscar and Mrs. Netter Mae Williams on February 2, 1949.  He was a native of Seminole County, Georgia.
