Mr. Frank Williams
Frank Williams, Jr. was born to the late Frank Williams, Sr. and Hattie Mae Westfield Williams on May 28, 1939, in Laurens, South Carolina.
At a very young age, he came to live with his Aunt Clara in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He completed his education and at eighteen years of age took a job with RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company.
He later married the former Mary Correll. And they were the proud parents of two sons. The young couple welcomed the birth of Frank, III in 1960 and their joy was complete when the baby boy, Vernon, arrived in 1967.
Frank remained gainfully employed as an operator with RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company until he retired after more than twenty-five years of dedicated service.
In the community, he served on the Winston-Salem, North Carolina Neighborhood Council and was heavily involved with the Southside City Community Development Group.
Frank was a big teaser and was particularly fond of annoying his sisters. Family members came to know that his kidding was another way to show his affection for them. He especially enjoyed the time spent with Vonisha and Vonda, granddaughters who were the joy of his life.
A man of his word, Frank was a giver and he believed in owing no one. He was hardly seen when he was not wearing a hat. And he never complained, even during his illness, so he peacefully passed away at Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on August 12, 2013.
Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by a sister, Bobbie Johnson and two brothers, Bennie Gary and Tommy Lee Williams.
Those family members who will miss him and forever cherish his memory include his sons, Frank Williams, III and Vernon Williams; eight grandchildren, Vernon, Jr., Sheldon, Vonda, Vonisha, Natisha, Reginald, Frank Marcus and Kimberly; four great-grandchildren; sisters, Betty (John) Kelley, Catherine (Jay) Robinson and Marries Suber; and many other relatives and friends.
A funeral service was held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, August 17, 2013 in the chapel of Clark S. Brown & Sons Funeral Home. The family will greet friends 30 minutes prior to the service. Interment in Piedmont Memorial Gardens.

She graduated in 1976 from North Forsyth High School, Winston-Salem, NC and received a BA Psychology degree from Montclair State University in Upper Montclair, New Jersey.
She settled in the Montclair, New Jersey area after college. She worked for a number of years in the Insurance industry as a Claims Adjuster in NY, GA, PA, and MD and also as a Psychological Behavior Case Manager in PA. In 1988, Pamela relocated to Atlanta, GA. While in Atlanta, she was blessed with the greatest joy of her heart. Kevin Eleazer Werts was born September 8, 1990 in Atlanta, GA. She migrated to Lancaster, PA in 1992 where her sister and brother-in-law lived. Lancaster is where she made her home until her death. Her dream was always to relocate home to Winston-Salem, NC. Per her wish, Winston-Salem will be her final resting place.
From an early age, Pam exhibited a vibrant, energetic nature, so much so that she earned the nickname ‘Jumping Bean’ from her Aunt Mary. Her father affectionately called her ‘Pamzy Wamzy’. She had an Infectious laughter, one that could light up a room. Her heart was very large and had a habit of giving…in every dimension, always choosing to give and share of herself with others. Her employment didn't define her, her spirit for giving, perceiving, and enriching others truly defined the Pamela we knew and loved!
She is survived by her son, Kevin E. Werts, Father, Rev. Louis Werts, Sr. (Shirley), Brother, Louis S. Werts Jr., (Cheryl), sister Patrenia W. Onuoha (Dr. Nnamdi)
Her legacy lives on as she leaves to cherish her memory five nephews Alex, Julian, Chiderah, Andrew Onuoha, all in Lagos, Nigeria and Louis Werts III in Leesburg, VA; two nieces Chinyere Onuoha in Raleigh, NC, and Christina Werts in Leesburg, VA; Devoted Aunts Mary Shuler in Winston-Salem, NC and Lois Hixson in East Orange, NJ; devoted Uncle Henry Jones (Willie Mae) in Charlotte, NC; cousins Valerie Wilson, Brenda Hairston, Anthony McCormick, Manley Porter, Lindy Harris in Winston-Salem, NC; and a host of extended family and other relatives and friends.
