Abbeville—Funeral services will be held at 9:00 AM on Saturday, November 12, 2022, at Faith Hope Christian Fellowship, 407 Duroq Street, Abbeville honoring the life of George Williams, 75.  He will be laid to rest at St. Paul Cemetery with Pastor B.K. Stevens officiating the services.

George Williams was born on October 12, 1947, to Evelyn Newton and Leon “Black” Stevenson in Abbeville, LA. On Tuesday November 1, 2022, George gained his wings and entered into eternal paradise.

George leaves to cherish memories with his wife, Betty Williams; three daughters, Iris Stagg (Robert), Annetha Broussard (Calvin), and Kameshia Davenport; step-mother, Margie Stevenson; three brothers, Joseph Stevenson, Frankie Stevenson and Kenneth Ray Newton; fifteen grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

George was preceded in death by his mother, the former Evelyn Newton; father, Leon “Black” Stevenson; maternal grandparents; paternal grandparents; daughter, Stephanie Thomas; cousins, Janet Rose Hawkins, Boyd William Sr, and Cathy Williams; and his best friend, Percy “Polo” Robinson.

George was a Law Enforcement officer for 24 years for the Abbeville Police Department and a Notary Public. He loved fishing, sitting on his porch talking to family and friends that would stop by, taking rides and door dashing with his granddaughter, Shaquana.  He enjoyed telling stories that would make you laugh, which he had many.

George was not just a father, a husband, or a grandfather, he was so much more, he really was something special to us all. He was loved by so many, and he will truly be missed by everyone.

The family requests that visiting hours be observed at Faith Hope Christian Fellowship, 407 Duroq Street, Abbeville, on Saturday, November 12, 2022, from 8:00 AM until time of services.
