Judith Lynne (Marsh) Williams, age 78, beloved wife, sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, left this world on July 6, 2023, in Liberty, MO after a long battle with several ailments.  She was preceded in death by her parents, several aunts and uncles, two brothers-in-law, many cherished cats and other loved ones.

Judy was born November 17, 1944 in a small farmhouse in northwest Albany, MO to parents Ted and Blondina "Bonnie" (Silkett) Marsh.  She was raised in and around Gentry County.  After her mother's death, Judy was raised by family members including aunts and uncles Bill and Opal Silkett, Jimmie and Bettye Silkett, Maxine and John Swan, and her sister Patricia and her husband Ron Craven.

Judy attended school in Albany, MO but moved her junior year and graduated from North Andrew High School in 1962. She attended college in Maryville, MO.  Judy enjoyed movies, reading, art, and dancing in her youth.

She married Charles "Charlie" Leland Williams from Albany, MO on December 31, 1966.  They moved to North Kansas City where she worked for the Charles F. Curry Company.  She was repeatedly told children were not likely, but the Lord eventually blessed her with three sons:  Charles "Chas" Lee, born 1974; Thomas Jon, born 1976; and Andrew Franklin, born 1979.  Her role as a mother was her most cherished position in life.

Soon after the birth of her first son, the couple moved back to Albany, MO to be near her mother-in-law, Edith (Glick) Williams in her final years.   Judy helped with running the farm and also worked for the Albany R-III school district as a teacher's aide for many years.  She enjoyed being involved in children's lives and left many wonderful impressions on her former students.   Judy also attended services throughout her life including Lone Star Baptist Church and First Baptist Church of Albany, and the Knoxville Community Church of Knoxville, MO.

In 2005, she moved with her husband to her dream home which they built near Lathrop, MO to be near her children and grandchildren.  She enjoyed entertaining family with her great cooking and taking them on vacations.  She also enjoyed painting, watching basketball any time she could, pampering her cats, playing cards with friends, but most of all enjoyed being a wonderful mother and grandmother.  Her home was always open to anyone.

She is survived and will be greatly missed by her husband, Charlie Williams; sons: Chas (Liberty, MO), Thomas (Liberty, MO), Andrew and wife Amy (Des Moines IA); grandchildren: Kiley, Corie, and Charlie; great grandson: Oliver (all Liberty MO); sisters: Patricia Craven (Cleveland, TN), Sondra Worden (Meridian, ID); and brothers: Teddy "TJ" Marsh and wife Pam (Ellensburg WA), and Mike Marsh and wife Mikel (Red Bluff, CA); sister-in-law: Maryann Shores (Savannah, MO); and multiple cousins, nephews, nieces, and other loved friends and family.

A memorial service will be held at Roberson-Polley Chapel, Albany, MO on Saturday, July 15th at 3:00 PM. A visitation will be held one hour prior. The family will hold a private burial. In lieu of flowers, the family would ask for those to consider a donation in Judy's name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at https://www.stjude.org or the KC Pet Project at https://kcpetproject.org Or if you are so inclined, use your donation to adopt a pet in her memory for your family.
