Visitation will be held 10:30-11 am, Wednesday at the church.

Mr. Williams, 81, of Philadelphia, passed away Monday, January 11, 2021 at his residence.

"Papaw Jerry" loved his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren very much. Sitting on the back porch was his favorite pastime, especially when grandsons stopped by just to talk. He also loved windmills.

Jerry attended North Calvary Baptist Church and Linwood Baptist Church with his daughter, Martha until sickness prevented him from attending.

He was a member of the Neshoba County Shrine Club, Philadelphia Lodge #93 and Coffadeliah Lodge #371. He enjoyed cooking steak and chicken plates with the Neshoba County Shrine Club for various events. But most of all he loved the fellowship with Club member friends.

Jerry made many friends throughout his lifetime. He enjoyed working at the Neshoba County Fair for many years in the Exhibit Hall visiting with coworkers and friends that were passing through. He always loved joking and laughing with anyone that would listen to him.

He will surely be missed by his family and friends.
