Sheila Mae (Watts) Williams

Sheila Mae Watts Williams, born on December 10, 1934, peacefully passed away on May 18, 2024, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the age of 89. She was surrounded by her family in a room full of love. Sheila, also known as Mom, Grandma, Sissy, and Gigi, led a full and fruitful life. She was raised during the depression and learned the skills of survival and independence. She was an American patriot. She loved our country, respected The Constitution, and the basis from which it was founded. She attended Harrison-Draughon School of Commerce and the Atlanta Division, University of Georgia. She married November 26, 1954 and began her life creating a beautiful family. As her children grew, she began her career in Real Estate. She worked collaboratively with Peachtree City Development Corporation, Garden Cities Realty, Miriam Fulton Realty, Gary G. Lawson, P.C., among others, to help build the beautiful Peachtree City Community we know today. She was an avid Bridge player, and over the past 60 years, developed many life-long friendships. She was a dear lady known for her Southern charm, quick wit, and her desire to always be learning. She loved her family and friends with all her heart and was surely the “rock” for her family. Her spirit, faith in God, love of life and laughter, will live on in all of us. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Merrill Edward Williams, Jr., her daughter, Pamela Leigh Williams, and her parents, Joseph Cicero and Sara Elizabeth (Giles) Watts.
