Obituary of Lina Williams

St. Lina Ann Barnett Williams was born on March 29, 1018, in York County, SC, to the late Nettie Barnett, who passed when she was three. She was blessed to be raised by her grandparents, the late Sis. Nancy and Bro. Bob Barnett. St. Williams slept away to be with the Lord on Monday, October 14, 2024. St. Williams spent most of her childhood in Charlotte, NC, where she became a member of the United House of Prayer for All People at an early age. She later moved to Washington, DC, Philadelphia, PA, and then to Brooklyn, NY. She was married to her loving husband, Elder Henry Williams, for over 50 years and stayed by his side, even at the hospital and nursing home. She and her husband were known in the neighborhood for attending church. St. Williams volunteered at the Bedford Stuyvesant Family Health Center for many years to serve the community in many capacities, including introducing others to Christ. She served on the Senior Usher Board in Brooklyn #2 for over 60 years. She faithfully attended services in her white usher uniform and white usher shoes as she came through the doors with her tambourine in hand. St. Williams was always ready to serve and give God praises. Her favorite hymn was "Lift Him Up." God blessed St. Williams for her faithfulness to Him. She could attest that she had no medical conditions that required maintenance medications. St. Williams is preceded in love by her husband, Elder Henry Williams, her mother, Nettie Barnett, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and all but one first cousin. What a life well lived in peace and grace with the reward of going home to see her Lord!
