Obituary for Susie D. Williams
Deaconess Susie Virginia Dagner Williams was called to her heavenly home on Monday, June 8, 2015 at her residence in Blackstone, VA. She was born June 23, 1920 to the late Cleveland and Cennie Dagner.
She was educated in Nottoway County at what was known as the “Dagner School”. Deaconess Williams professed her faith in Christ at a young age and became an active and supportive member of the Cellar Creek Baptist Church. She faithfully served on the Senior Choir, Pastor’s Aid Ministry, Missions Ministry, Deaconess Ministry and the Christian Education Ministry. Deaconess Williams was the “Mother” of the Church.
Deaconess Williams was employed for many years by Clay’s Hatchery of Blackstone, VA. She enjoyed fishing, gardening, reading, and caring for her pets. Mother Williams was a kind, giving woman who truly loved the Lord. She was a “doer” of the word...encouraging others and helping them in any way she could. She always greeted you with a smile.
