Obituary

Minnie Mae Capers Williams was born on May 10, 1951, in Wake County, North Carolina, to Lillie Mozetta and Abraham Capers.

Minnie graduated from Fuquay Varina High School in 1968. A year later, she married the love of her life, Floyd W. Williams. To this union, they welcomed their first child in 1970. In 1971, Minnie and Floyd relocated to Boston with their growing family in search of better opportunities.

In her early years in Boston, Minnie dedicated herself to caring for her home and family. She later gained employment at Sweet Hearts Paper Company and went on to work at the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital for over 30 years. She also attended nursing school and, though she did not complete the program, she became a compassionate nurse assistant at the Dimock Center.

Minnie's spiritual journey began when she joined Deliverance Church under the leadership of the late Bishop Hamby Sr. in the 1970s. In the 1980s, she moved her membership to The Way of the Cross Church under the leadership of the late Overseer Edith M. Kelley. Under Overseer Kelley's mentorship, Minnie grew in grace, love, and the teachings of the Bible. She was committed to her spiritual growth and strived to live a life aligned with the Word of God.

Years later, Minnie joined Word of Life Tabernacle, where she served faithfully as a dedicated and willing worker. In 2018, she was elevated to the office of Deaconess, though she humbly felt unworthy of the title due to her health challenges.

Minnie loved cooking, spending time with her grandchildren, attending church events, and fellowshipping with her church family. Her own family was always dear to her heart, and she cherished every moment with them. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

She leaves to mourn her husband, Floyd Williams. Children; Curtis W. ( Erica) Williams, Karen Williams, Frances Williams. Lawrence Williams. Grandchildren; Jarianna J. Southerland, Ki M.
