"To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die"- Thomas Campbell
It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Carolyn "Kay" Williams on April 8th, 2025, at the age of 80. Kay was a resident of Dallas, Texas, where she lived and worked for the majority of her life.
Kay was born April 7, 1946 to the parents of Arlice and Murrell Williams, of Sulphur Springs, Texas. She had 3 siblings, Shirley, Charles and Sue. Following graduation from Pickton High School, she went on to earn an education degree at East Texas College.
In 1995, Kay became a Farmers Insurance Agent and Broker, where she served the Dallas/Plano area until her passing.
Kay was known for her strong will, unwavering determination, and love for her family and friends. She was a die-hard Dallas Cowboy fan and saved all her jerseys over the years.
Kay was preceded in death by her parents, Arlice and Murrell Williams; sister, Sue Williams; brother, Charles Robert Williams; and sister-in-law, Barbara Nannette Williams.
She is survived by her sister, Shirley Adams; nieces; nephew; Shannon Riley; Charles Anthony Williams and wife, Alicia; Stephanie Williams Langford and husband, Wylie; and many great nieces/nephews.
Though her departure comes as a great shock and a deep wound, Aunt Kay will forever reside in our hearts. If you would like to attend a memorial that will be set for a later date, please leave your name below so we can reach out to you with details.
