Robert Lee Williams

Robert Lee Williams entered eternal rest on December 2, 2022, at Memorial Regional Medical Center, Mechanicsville, Virginia. Robert Lee Williams, son of the late Lucy E. and Lue Meyer Berry, Sr. Robert was born in Aylett, Virginia on July 30, 1939. Robert married the late Marion Williams who preceded him in death. Robert’s daughter, Wanda Denise Williams also preceded him in death. Robert attended Providence Baptist Church in Aylett, Virginia with his grandparent (Pa Pa) and joined at an early age. Robert attended public schools in King William Virginia and retired from Richfood, now called SuperValu in 2002. Robert was a fun-loving person that loved to laugh and joke with family and friends. Robert would drive his favorite mode of travel a pickup truck up and down the road, visit his friends and family and tell stories about the good old days. Robert was known for telling tall tales and did so just to get a laugh. Robert’s laugh was contagious, one could not help laughing at him no matter how farfetched the story. Robert had a special love for his wife, whom he called Jodie. Robert and Jodie would invite everyone up to their house during the holidays and fellowship with good food and fun conversation. Robert also adored his son, grandchildren, brothers, nephews and nieces. Robert always had something to say about what his family was doing. After Jodie and Wanda transitioned to heaven, Robert put all of his focus on the grandkids and Wayne. Robert also had a love for the cats that Wanda left for him to care for. His pastime was trying to learn to operate a cell phone. Robert had a phone that he said called his contacts frequently and asserted it was not him. When family received a call from Robert, and he did not answer they would call back to hear I did not call you my phone keeps calling and everyone would laugh. Robert leaves to cherish those good times a son Wayne S. Williams, four grandchildren: Kayla Williams, Ryan Pierce, Dylan and Skylar Williams; two brothers Lue Berry, Jr. and Thomas P. Berry, Sr. (Sylvia), two nieces Trina and Dawn, one nephew Philip, Great nieces and nephews, and a first cousin that he called a sister Julia Jackson, and Jodie’s brother Gerald, who stayed in touch, and a host of other relatives and friends.
