Callie Lou Little Williams

Mrs. Callie Lou Little Williams, a daughter of the late Clifford V. and Essie Price Little, came into this world on February 24, 1934 in Murphy, North Carolina.
Our dear sweet wife and mother went to Heaven December 5, 2012. She was injured in a traffic accident December 1st that her body just couldn't survive. She tried so hard, never once complaining of pain though she was racked with it, but was so worn out from struggling to breathe. We children thank God for giving us such a sterling Christian Southern lady for our mother. We also give thanks for God giving our dad to Mother as together they were the best parents and examples of true love, devotion, and Christianity to us and all who knew and loved her.
Mother was strong, independent, quiet, a prayer warrior, and an example we can all try to emulate. She loved our spouses as if they were to her born. Her grandchildren were treasures she prayed over and for even in the hospital. She wanted all to know and love the Lord Jesus as our Savior. Her husband of almost 60 years, John Clayton Williams, was her rock, anchor, and love of her life.
Life can change in a single moment. Praise God for giving us our mother and wife and for the knowledge she is now with God in Heaven! We all love you, Momma.
