Pattie Sue Williams of 73 of Little Rock, Arkansas, was born in Ethel, Arkansas. Peacefully entered eternal rest surrounded by her loved ones.
A devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Pattie’s life was defined by unwavering love, quiet strength, and a generous spirit that touched all who knew her.
A proud 1972 graduate of St. Charles High School, Pattie formed lifelong friendships and established the work ethic that guided her throughout her life. She later enjoyed a long and respected career as Executive Housekeeper at the Legacy Hotel in downtown Little Rock, where her leadership, professionalism, and warm presence left a lasting impression on colleagues and guests alike.
She was the beloved mother of David Williams of Little Rock, Barry (Natasha) Jefferson of Jacksonville, Arkansas, and Eric Martin of Little Rock. Her joy multiplied with her grandchildren—Brian Garrett, Savanna (KB) Brown, Xion Hall, Asher Jefferson, and Sarai Jefferson and one cherished great-grandchild, each of whom brought profound happiness and purpose to her life.
Pattie was preceded in death by her parents, Bernice and Cornelius Williams; her daughter, Lamanda Garrett; brothers Mack Williams, Paul E. Williams, Jerry W. Williams, Charles Williams, Burnette Williams, and Oliver J. Williams and sisters Josephine Page and Vernette Gordon.
She carried their memory with grace throughout her life. She leaves to cherish her memory her loving sisters, Beulah Pruitt of Richmond, Texas, and Bennie Mae Rivera of Vineland, New Jersey, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and
extended family members she deeply treasured. Pattie’s love for her family was boundless, and each person held a unique place in her heart.
Pattie’s legacy is one of compassion, resilience, and devotion. Those who knew her will remember her warm smile, gentle guidance, and the strength with which she faced life’s
challenges. Though greatly missed, the love she shared will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.

Poem:
"When Tomorrow Starts Without Me"
When Tomorrow Starts without me
Please Try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand
The angel said my place was ready
In Heaven far above
And That I would have to leave behind
All those I Dearly Love
But When I walked through
Heaven’s Gates
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and
Smiled at me, and told me
“Welcome Home.”
So when Tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right there in your heart
