OBITUARY
Loyless Williams, affectionately known as "Willie" by his family and friends. Loyless was bom June 19, 1917 from the union of the late George and Sarah Williams in the state of Georgia. He was raised in a Christian home and never forgot his early training.
Loyless moved to Los Angeles, California where he joined Second Baptist Church where he met and married Katie Beatrice Johnson in 1937. To this union four children were bom, Lois Anita Taylor, Joann Patricia Baldwin, Loyless Thomas Jr., and Deborah Ann Bowen. Loyless worked in the produce industry until 1971 when his health failed him and he was forced to retire.
Loyless remained active in the Church as a Deacon until his death, and was an example to many because he always gave thanks first to God even in the midst of his many illnesses. Loyless never complained and he was always concerned about others rather than himself.
On Monday, December 26, 1988 at 11:00 P.M., the Lord called Loyless home. He leaves to mourn his beloved wife Katie Williams, four children; Lois Taylor, Joann Baldwin, Loyless Williams Jr., Deborah Bowen; six Grandchildren, Sherry, Ed ward, Crystal, Sandi, Shaun and Britany; four Great Grand Children, Aaron, Tristan, Eddie and Nichlas; two Sisters, Freddie Elam, and Cora King. One Brother George Williams; many nieces; nephews; and a host of relatives, friends and co-workers.
God saw you were getting weary so he did what He thought best, he came and stood beside you and whispered, " Comeand rest."
You bade no one a last farewell, not even a good bye, you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.
D Isfor how dear.you are to all of us. A Is knowing that you were always therefor us. D Isfor the day you were born and brought with
