Williams

Andrew Bailey Williams, of Boligee, Alabama, passed away on November 12, 2026, at DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa.

He was born on May 14, 1950, to Mr. Horace Gray “Pony” Williams and Mrs. Louise (Prisoc) Williams. He attended Greene County High School and was a KA at Florida Southern before transferring to Livingston University. On October 22, 1971, he married his high school sweetheart, Patricia Ann Payne. He was retired from the United States Postal Service, worked in accounting for over 35 years for Lavender, Inc. and Tuskaloosa Forestry Services, and enjoyed working at Odom Chevrolet.

He attended West Greene Baptist Church as a young man and was a member of Friendship Baptist Church in Boligee, Alabama.

He was preceded in death by his father, Horace Gray “Pony” Williams, and his mother Louise (Prisoc) Williams.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years Patricia Ann Payne Williams his sons, Roger Bailey Williams and Craig Prentice Williams (Margaret Justin); his daughter, Andi Nicole Bishop (John); brothers, Marshall Gray Williams (Marjorie) and Charles Oliver Williams (Adrianna); and his grandchildren, Jackson Gray Williams, John (JB) Fugh Bishop V, Salls Samuel Williams, Griffin Prentice Williams, and Bailey Grace Bishop.

Andy was affectionately known as “Pop” after the grands were born. He loved working outside – maintaining the Williams Cemetery in West Greene where his mother and father are buried, running a chainsaw, driving a tractor, putting anything in his brush pile, Gran's home cooking with no seasoning, plain chicken wings, watching his grands do everything from domino battles to cheering or fussing at the referee.

He enjoyed our time on the Tombigbee River in Boligee, selflessly pulling all of us and our friends in his boat on skis, tubes, and keeping the SeaDoo running. He had such a great work ethic and was tough as nails. He enjoyed classic rock and a great church solo would bring a tear to his eye. For 55 devoted years, Patricia stood faithfully by Andy's side as his loving wife, trusted companion, and greatest source of strength. Together, they built a life centered on faith, love, and family, raising three outstanding children whose kindness, compassion, and character reflect the values they instilled in them. In Andy's final years, Patricia cared for him with extraordinary devotion and grace, providing comfort, dignity, and unwavering love every day.

We know Pop is seated next to his Dad in Heaven, and they are pulling up a chair to Louise's and Miss Evie's home cooking. Andy is no longer in pain, and his family finds peace and comfort in the promises of God. We celebrate the unconditional love and grace of our Heavenly Father, the giver of life, the Lion of Judah, and our Redeemer. Though we grieve his absence, we rejoice in the assurance that Andy has been made whole and rests in the presence of his Savior. His faith has become sight, and his legacy of love, kindness, and devotion will continue to live on in all who knew him.

An 11:00 am Graveside service will be held on Monday, November 16, 2026 at Bethsalem Cemetery, Boligee, AL. with Rev. Jeremy Burrage officiating and  Magnolia Chapel South directing. After the service service the family will receive friends at the home of John and Nikki Bishop in Eutaw, Alabama. 

Pallbearers will be Roger Bailey Williams, Craig Prentice Williams, John Fugh Bishop IV, Jackson Gray Williams, John “JB” Fugh Bishop V, Salls Samuel Williams, Griffin Prentice Williams.
