La Nere Williams

September 4, 1936 — May 21, 2025

Woodstock, Georgia

La Nere Williams, born on September 4, 1936, in Dawson, Texas, passed away peacefully on May 21, 2025, in Canton, Georgia. A beloved figure to many, she will be profoundly missed for her warmth, kindness, and devotion to family and friends.

La Nere grew up in Texas, a state she cherished deeply. Although she spent her final years enjoying the beautiful, lush landscapes of Georgia, she always considered herself a true Texan at heart. Though a Waco native, she had an immense love for Austin and all the vibrant experiences it offered.

Her personality radiated joy, and she is remembered most for her unwavering love for her family, particularly her son, Vincent Williams and his wife, Kim, and her grandson George Castleton Williams. She cherished her role as a grandmother to him. La Nere had that same unwavering love for her brother, Michael Earl Cleveland, and his wife, Laurie Cleveland, their children, her many cousins, as well as her dear friends in Waco and Austin, who enriched her life with love and companionship. 

A lover of beautiful things, La Nere enjoyed exploring genealogy and history, often delving into her family’s past. Her passion extended into frequent games of Mahjong, where laughter and camaraderie filled the air. Known for her delightful smile and kindness, La Nere found happiness in the simple pleasures of life, and her appreciation for delicious food was evident to all who gathered around her table.

La Nere was predeceased by her late husband, Bobby Eugene Williams of Waco, who held a special place in her heart. Their love story was one that inspired those around them, showcasing a bond that transcends time.

In honoring La Nere's life, a graveside service will be held at Waco Memorial Park in Robinson, Texas, on June 17, 2025, beginning at 10:00 AM. The service will be a reflection of her vibrant spirit, surrounded by family and friends who were touched by her love and grace.

As we remember La Nere Williams, we celebrate a life dedicated to family, friendship, and faith. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will endure through the generations she so adored.
