In Loving Memory of

Lois Marie Halcomb Williams

November 6, 1926 - June 5, 2025

Lois Marie Williams (née Halcomb) of Mayking , Ky., passed away peacefully at home in Sebastian,

Florida, on June 5, 2025, at the age of 98. Born in Letcher County, Kentucky, on November 6, 1926, Lois lived a long and meaningful life devoted to faith, family, and the joy of loving others well.

A cherished matriarch, Lois leaves behind a legacy that spans five generations. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. Her presence was a gift—a steady light marked by grace, wisdom, and kindness. She greeted everyone with a warm smile and chose to see the best in others. Her life was a living testimony to the values she held dear: faith in God, compassion for others, and the strength of family. She was a member of the

Missionary Baptist Church, Milestone, Ky.

She often shared simple, profound wisdom—words that will echo through generations—like her favorite saying: "If a man isn't good to his mother, he won't be good to his wife."

Lois is survived by her daughter, Shirley Williams Combs Volk; son-in-law, Gary Bentley; grandchildren Wendy Combs Rochester (Carey), Grant Combs, Buck Combs (Sidney), and Jimmie Williams (Misti); 9 great-grandchildren; and 16 great-great-grandchildren, many nephews and nieces whom she loved dearly.

She is reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband, Rudolph "Doc" Williams; her children, Jimmie Rudolph Williams, Carol Beverly Williams, and Jo Williams Bentley; her grandson, Paul Clark Combs Il; and her sons-in-law, Paul Clark Combs, and Gerald Volk.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in her memory to:

VNA Hospice Foundation

Vero Beach, FL 32960

Mom's love, strength, and spirit will live on in all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

SCRIPTURES

"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know."" John 14:1-4 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.14.1-4.NKJV

"Jesus replied, "l tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God." "What do you mean?" exclaimed Nicodemus. "How can an old man go back into his mother's womb and be born again?" Jesus replied, "l assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the

Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. So don't be surprised when I say, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born of the Spirit." "For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:3-8, 16 NLT

"After saying all these things, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come.

Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you. For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him. And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth." John 17:1-3 NLT
