Della was welcomed into this world on the summer day of August 23, 1937, in Union County Mississippi as one of six children born to the late Ellis Stinson and Ora Hale Stinson. She was married to the late James E Williams for an expansive sixty-three years before his passing in November of 2015. This union gave life not only to six children, fifteen grandchildren, thirty three great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild but also many precious memories cultivated along the journey of life. She loved her large family deeply and devoted her entire life to looking after them as a lifelong homemaker. While she looked after her family she found the time to help other families as babysitter and quickly became known as Mamaw Rosie to children far and wide that did not belong to her. Aside from loving and looking after others as Christ commanded, she found joy in tending to her beloved variety of flowers, especially roses. Della did not simply pass away. She held the cure to death in her soul, an active relationship with her Lord whom she worshiped at Bethlehem Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. She joined this body of believers in 1955, worshiping for a numerous sixty-eight years before entering into rest. Although she has departed from our presence, she has gone to rest in a place free of sickness. Della leaves behind a loving family to continue walking down the path of life in her absence, her three sons: Glen (Kathy) Williams of Myrtle, Mississippi, Dewayne (Bernice) Williams of Hickory Flat, Mississippi; James (Nita) Williams, Jr. of Potts Camp, Mississippi; her two daughters: Bonnie (Ray) Clifton of Potts Camp, Mississippi; Melinda (Paul) Patterson of Hickory Flat, Mississippi; 15 grandchildren; 33 great-grandchildren; one great great-grandchild. The loved ones that departed from this life before her include her husband of sixty-three years, James E. Williams ; her parents, Ellis Stinson and Ora Stinson; her daughter, Brenda Williams; two great-grandsons; two sisters; and three brothers. Donations and memorials in honor of Mrs. Della Rose Williams may be made to the Bethlehem Church of the Lord Jesus Christ Building Fund (88 Overton School Rd., Potts Camp, Mississippi 38659). The staff at Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford is honored to serve the Williams as they begin to walk through this new season of life.
