      QUITMAN -- Doris C. Williams, 93, passed away on Jan. 13, 2004, at South Georgia Medical Center, Valdosta, following a short illness. She had spent her last several years in the Presbyterian Home in Quitman.

      Born June 17, 1910, she was the daughter of the late Fredda Harbin Cason and Joseph B. Cason Sr. Born and reared in Waycross, she was the last surviving member of the Waycross High School Class of 1926. After attending Tift College in Forsythe, she worked for a short time with the AB&C Railroad, Waycross, then moved on to serve as principle at Inman School, north of Manor.

      After her marriage in 1936, to Edwin L. Williams Sr., she lived in Waycross, Moultrie, Albany and Jesup where she was a homemaker and a schoolteacher.

      In 1953, she moved with her family to Cottondale, Fla., which she soon adopted as a second hometown. While there she was an active member of the community and a frequent substitute teacher. She later served many years as city clerk, being named to that position which had been held by her late husband.

      Mrs. Williams was well respected and loved by all who knew her. She shared generously with family, friends and neighbors her varied talents as artist, seamstress, poet, author and tutor.

      A former member of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, she was a member of First Baptist Church, Cottondale, Fla., where she served in various capacities of leadership. She taught Sunday School for over 60 years.

      In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by one brother, Joseph B. Cason Jr.; a great-granddaughter, Kathryn "Katy" Crosby; a daughter-in-law, Carolyn B. Williams; and two brothers-in-law, Charles N. Drinkwater and Leonard P. Butler.

      She is survived by two children, Edwin L. "Boe" Williams, Jr., Valdosta, and Fredda Shutes, Panama City, Fla.; two grandsons, Edwin L. "Edd" Williams, III, Atlanta, Cason (Leisa) Williams, Valdosta; four granddaughters, Virginia "Ginny" (Lawson) Kirkland, Valdosta, Miriam (Robert) Shutes-Taylor, and Brenda Reed, Panama City, Fla., and Jennifer (Bill) Moreland of Birmingham, Ala.; one brother, Richard K. (Irene) Cason, Lutz, Fla.; four sisters, Nelda Drinkwater, Frances Butler, Carol Jean (George) Farr, all of Waycross and Montine (Kenn) Drupiewski of Winter Park, Fla.; a sister-in-law, Hazel Rogers Cason, Waycross; four great-grandchildren, Amanda and Brandon Reed, Panama City, Anna and Taylor Williams, Valdosta; and one great-great grandchild, Alexis Reed, Panama City, Fla.; as well as many nieces and nephews also survive her.

      Funeral services will be held at the chapel of Miles-Odum Funeral Home at 3 p.m., today, Jan. 15, 2004, with visitation at the funeral home one hour prior to service. Dr. David Drake, pastor, at Central Baptist Church will preside.

      Graveside services will be conducted Friday, Jan. 16, 2004, at 11:00 a.m. CST at the First Methodist Church Cemetery, Cottondale, Fla., with the Rev. Jack Brock, pastor of First Baptist Church, Cottondale, Fla., officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Waycross College Foundation, or a favorite charity. -- Miles-Odum Funeral Home, Waycross
