Katie Lanae Williams

Katie Lanae Williams, 36, of Leicester, North Carolina went gently to sleep in Jesus on June 5, 2022. But the memory of her unwavering love and dedication to family-- which were always at the center of her heart-- lives on in each one of us. With every breath, we cling to the promise that all will be made new because our Savior won the victory over death. We will cherish her memory with our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus. Come soon, Lord, and sustain us until that glorious day when we embrace Katie again! Katie was born to Nathan and Donna Williams, the fourth of six children, in Asheville, NC on January 24, 1986.
