Obituary of Miriam Coley Williams

 

Miriam Coley Williams, 87, of Columbia, passed away peacefully in her sleep February 15, 2019 in Columbia SC. She was born on July 13, 1931 in Columbia, South Carolina  to Felton and Helen (Wilson) Coley.  Miriam was married to the late Louis E. Williams Jr. on February 25, 1950.  Miriam was the Co-Owner of Micalline Products in Columbia SC. for 25 years.

 

Miriam brought so much joy to many, freely sharing her beautiful voice and her infectious laugh.  While her physical body declined, her strength of spirit and determination never waived.

 

She loved her sons without measure, always praying for their happiness.  She adored her grandchildren, and delighted in her great-grandchildren.  She loved her three daughters-in-law and trusted them to care for her sons.  They all loved and cared for her in return.  Her last days were spent with family always at her side, singing and laughing together.

 

Miriam is survived by three sons Felton "Coley" (Nilla) Williams, Louis "Ernie" (Melissa) Williams, and Bruce (Cheri) Williams.  She is also survived by four grandchildren, Shannon, Elliott, Jesse, and Luke, and two great-grandchildren, Philip and Elsa.

 

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Louis E. Williams Jr. and one brother, Felton Coley.
