Christian Sympathy
Celebration of Life for Mary Williams
We are saddened to share that Mary Jane Lane Williams passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 27, 2025.
Mary was deeply involved in her church, and her Sunday School class held a special place in her heart. As the oldest member of First Baptist Church, her devotion never wavered; even when she was unable to attend in person, she faithfully watched services online and never missed a Sunday.
A memorial service to honor Mary’s life will be held at 11 a.m., Wednesday, December 31 at First Baptist Church, officiated by Pastor Darrell Williams. The family will receive friends one hour prior. For those unable to attend, the service can be viewed through her obituary page on Munden Funeral Home’s website.
