Delories Nataline Floyd Williams, 82, of Jacksonville, transitioned on Saturday morning, January 31, 2015, when the death angel stopped by San Jose Rehabilitation Center, Jacksonville and stamped her passport from labor to reward. A native of San Mateo, She was the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Eugene (Ferline) Keenon, born on January 29, 1933. She grew up in a Christian home which required her to not just to go to church, but she experienced great pleasure by becoming actively involved in the work of the church and she came to know Jesus as her personal Savior. Mother Williams was educated in the Putnam County Public School District in Palatka and graduated from Central Academy High School, Class of 1951. During high school Delores was introduced to two important people that would shape her life - the Lord and "Ralph." She married Ralph Williams, Sr. on February 25, 1951 and started a family and moved into their home in Jacksonville. They became the proud parents of four children - Deborah, Ralph, Jr., Reginald and Denise. Mother Williams was a faithful and dedicated member of Saint Paul Lutheran Church until declining health prevailed. Mother Williams was a devoted wife. While her husband Ralph was in the Navy, moving from State to State, she gave her full support. She was a helper to her husband in every way. Wherever he went, she was willing to follow. Mother Williams lived a life of caring, sharing, loving but most of all praying for others. She was a selfless woman, one who always placed the needs of others before herself. Her life and legacy epitomizes the woman of God described in the book of Proverbs, the virtuous woman. She clearly understood that God's love is the foundation of your faith, that love is the freedom from sin, the ability to step up and out in ministering to the needs of others without fear. Her love was evident in her home as she provided loving, nurturing care to her husband, children, their spouses, grandchildren, friends and all other relatives. Her love was evident in her business as a Cosmetologist for many years. She had a creative flair for style, glamour and she took care of the many who came to her shop for hair care and design, counseling and or prayer. She also showed her love for cosmetology by serving as an instructor to many students who had a desire to learn the trade.. Not only was Mother Williams a loving person, but she was also a woman who had strong faith in her God. When the nights got dark, Mother Williams had a heart to keep on trusting God. She knew how to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks. Even when loved one's got sick or passed away, Mother Williams kept her faith in God because she understood that trouble don't last always. She knew that she was never alone and Mother Williams instilled this faith into the minds and hearts of her children and friends. And yes, she was a praying woman, one who knew how to call on the Lord Jesus. She understood that she served a prayer answering God. Therefore, she did not allow the pressure of life to get her down, but rather she took all of her burdens to the Lord. Mother Williams was faithful until she received orders from the Lord to come home. Mother Williams was preceded in eternal rest by her loving husband of 54 years, Ralph, her daughters, Deborah Grant, Denise Williams Mitchell; grand children, Archie Grant,II., Micheyla and Michael Mitchell, II; parents, Mr. & Mrs. Eugene Keenon; sister, Joan Ellis; and brother, Eugene Keenon, a host of sisters-in-law and brothers in law.
