George Lee Williams was born on March 29, 1950 to the late Edward Williams Sr. and Lessie Davis. George received his early education in Marion, SC from Johnakin High School where he graduated in 1969. He went home with the Lord on July 30, 2020 at his home.

George gave his life to Christ at an early age and remained a humble servant of God. George’s heat was pure and kind to all who knew him and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.

George was always one who liked the finer things in life and enjoyed traveling up to New York and Ocean City in his earlier years. He enjoyed politics and the Young and Restless.
