She was known as being a “Super Nurse”, patient advocate, caregiver, mentor and resource for all. She received numerous awards and letters of appreciation for her dedicated service and outstanding work performance. Her areas of specialty during her nursing career included, Complicated Obstetrics, Clinic Nurse, Level-Two Nursery, Newborn Nursery, NICU, OB Mother/Infant Unit and Lactation Consultant. Dorothy retired on 2007.

It was the years after retirement that Dorothy focused on those things she loved her family, friends, cooking, gardening. She was to her family a warrior. She has had great challenges and a survivor of three bouts of cancer but in the midst of it all, she is most remembered for her strength to lift her head, roll up her sleeves and take on whatever was needed. She had more work to do and she continued until the day that she was called home. She went home to be with Her Jesus on April 12, 2021. She looked at each of those surrounding her bed and took her last breaths in peace.

Dorothy’s love and legacy will continue through her devoted and loving husband Jimmie Cecil Williams, sister Helen Jeanne Edwards, son Jimmie (Carol) Williams, daughters Yvonne Williams and Linda Williams, grandchildren Jasmine (Eric) Pseat, Nigel Williams, Dominique (Candace) Hill, Tiana Leverett, Noelle Leverett. great grandchildren Etienne Victor Pseat, and Caspar Dominique Hill , nieces Quinn Dossantos and Jaele Davis, nephews Jimmie Davis and Walter Edwards, a village of extended family, dearest friends and her Zoey.
