So very sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of Mrs Williams from school, church and as a neighbor. She always have us a big smile and hug whenever we happened to see her out and about before we moved. Our thoughts and prayers are with yall. Sending all our love

Mrs Williams touched many lives while she was at Floyd County High School, mine is so exception. I wanted to have study hall in the library desperately but I was one of those kids who was often told by Mrs Williams to quiet down. She really thought hard about giving me a chance and I hope she was as happy with that decision as I was. We talked daily about life, future and past. We discussed my plans for the future and she gave me her opinions which did not usually line up with mine. I followed her advise, everyone had been telling me to go to college and I was getting sick of hearing it but for some reason coming from her it all made sense. She completely changed my future path in life and I told her many times how grateful I was. I visited her at home once and chatted for a while, I wish I had done it more. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Elizabeth Williams was a very special lady and I will cherish every memory I have forever.

I always appreciated Elizabeth's sense of humor with that sincere smile on her face. I love her boys as well. They were very fortunate to have loving parents who looked out for their best interests. I send my condolences to all the family and thank God that I knew them.
