Gladys Pauline Williams

Gladys Williams, age 93, passed away on Thursday, February 24, 2022. She was a lifelong member of Liberty Baptist Church. Gladys’s personality was bigger than life itself, and she was the glue that held our family together. Her laugh was contagious and she always had the right words to make your gloomy day a sunny one. She loved the tradition of cooking Sunday dinner for her family, flowers, and picnics in the Smoky Mountains.
