The funeral service celebrating her life will occur immediately following the visitation, beginning at 2:00 PM in the sanctuary of North Oxford Baptist Church. Angela, one of the two daughters born to James Henry Williams and Betty Neese Williams, graced this world with her presence on December 18, 1976. Angela graduated from Oxford High School in 1995, leaving behind a legacy of talent and passion in the music department. She shone as a trumpet player and section leader in the marching band, where her dedication and skill earned her various awards. Her love for music continued to flourish after high school, guiding her as she shared this gift with many people in her life, especially within her church family. Angela poured her heart into teaching one of her cherished nephews how to play the trumpet, nurturing his musical journey with patience and care. Her deep understanding of pitch, melody, and notes made her a beloved member of the North Oxford Baptist Church choir. Angela had a remarkable way of praising the Lord, finding joy in sharing her faith through song and on social media, where she uplifted others with her messages about the goodness of God. An outgoing woman with a gentle spirit, Angela dedicated her professional life to the University of Mississippi. She served as a secretary in the Biology Department until retirement began a new chapter for her. After retiring, she embraced her passions wholeheartedly, finding tranquility in creating beautiful paintings that reflected her artistic soul. Yet, nothing compared to her profound love for her family. Angela's nephews held a special place in her heart, and she cared for them with a tenderness that came naturally, treating them as if they were her own children. Her life was a testament to the love, kindness, and joy she shared with everyone around her. Angela leaves behind a loving family to continue walking down the path of life: her father and mother, James Henry Williams and Betty Neese Williams of Oxford, Mississippi; one sister, Tammy and her husband Terry of Oxford, Mississippi; two nephews, William Terry Sparks of Oxford, Mississippi; Patrick Neal Sparks of Oxford, Mississippi; one maternal uncle, Terry Neese of Calhoun City, Mississippi; two maternal aunts: Pasty Barnette and her husband Jimmy of Calhoun City, Mississippi; Louella Crutchfield and her husband Bobby Joe of Calhoun City, Mississippi; host of beloved extended family members.
