Linda E Williams

Our beloved Linda Elaine (Wilson) Williams, of Lorain, passed away peacefully at the age of 79 on July 22, 2025. Linda was born to Clara (Crisp) Wilson and Daniel Wilson on February 16, 1946.

Linda was a mother of all mothers and lived her life for her four children. Linda was quiet but when it came to protecting her family, she was fierce. She was loyal and dedicated to her family and friends.

Linda was known to be a mother and grandmother not only to her family but to her neighborhood as well. She welcomed any and everyone to her front porch for a casual conversation and some candy. Linda was known for her sweet and generous spirit, in which she was affectionately called “Aunt Sweet” or “Baebae”. She truly enjoyed baking and sewing, along with arts and crafts.

Linda attended Stautzenberger Business College where she obtained a certificate in Business Administration. She worked as a deputy clerk taking marriage licenses for probate court in Elyria for many years and then retired.
