Lovie Williams, Jr. age 69 of Quitman ascended to his Heavenly home on Thursday, September 28, 2023.  Lovie was born to the union of Lovie and Betty (Borland) Williams on August 17, 1954 in Jonesboro, La.  He loved his family dearly, especially his nieces and nephews.  Lovie never married, although he did come close a couple of times.  He said he realized that there were so many women that he did not know how he could just choose one.  Lovie is a Jonesboro-Hodge High School graduate and he enjoyed hunting and fishing.  He also loved to cruise around in his car.  Only God truly knows how many miles he put on his car as he drove it throughout his life.  He was a one-of-a-kind character that never met a stranger.  If you knew him you would learn very quickly just how wildly funny he was.  He was full of life and spoiled rotten.  Lovie was loved by family and friends alike and will be missed.

Those left to cherish his memory are his siblings, Roger D. Williams and wife Susan, Wanda G. Neeles and husband Charlie, Hazel Lou Forbes; 2 nieces; 3 nephews.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Lovie and Betty (Borland) Williams; sister, Glenda Williams; maternal grandparents, Doyle Borland, Dora Pratt.

Friends may visit with the family on Tuesday, October 3, 2023 at Southern-Edmonds Funeral Home chapel from 5:00-7:00PM.  A private graveside will take place at a later date.
