Harmon “Papa” Edmond Williams, our husband, daddy, papa, uncle, and friend passed away peacefully in his sleep on September 16, 2022, at this home.

Harmon was employed by the Floyd County School System and retired after 41 years and 11 months of service. Following his retirement, he continued to farm, travel and camp. He enjoyed telling people all about the many trips he and Ada Lee took over the years, most of the time with multiple kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. He never met a stranger. Anyone who knew Harmon, would have a story to tell.

There will be a time of visitation on October 8, 2022, beginning at 12 pm at Gardner Funeral Home in Floyd, VA followed by a Celebration of Life Service at 1pm on what would have been Harmon’s 94th Birthday. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a memorial donation be made to Cannaday Cemetery c/o Ada Lee Williams, 932 Smartsview Road, S.E. Floyd, VA 24091.
