Theresa Williams
March 29, 1960 - April 27, 2021
Theresa Lynn Williams, of Terrell, Texas, passed away peacefully on April 27, 2021, surrounded by her family. Theresa was born March 29, 1960, in Lincoln, Nebraska, to Kenneth Beadie Strickland and Betty Ruth Willoughby Strickland. She was met in Heaven by her father and her beloved husband, Terry Lynn Williams. Mrs. Williams was a 1979 graduate of Terrell High School, and worked for Walmart in Terrell for over 21 years where she was a familiar face to so many of the customers and residents of Terrell. Theresa was the primary caregiver for her husband for over 14 years as he battled Multiple Sclerosis, while simultaneously raising their daughter and providing care for many other friends and relatives throughout the years. Her generous heart and empathetic nature enabled Theresa to always be the support that anyone, friend or family, needed in any situation. Mrs. Williams’ compassion for others was both unlimited and well known. She was very creative and quick witted, with a passion for art, literature, and knowledge. A wonderful, warm lady with a memorable smile, Theresa will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her daughter, Amy Stout of Forney; her granddaughter, Lucy Stout; her mother, Betty Strickland, and her brothers: Doug Strickland, Gilbert Strickland, Juan Carlos Strickland, Gabriel Strickland, as well as other extended family, friends, and her Walmart Family. A Celebration of Life will be held at 3:00 pm on Monday, May 3, 2021, at Max Slayton Funerals and Cremations. In honor of Theresa’s love for reading, memorials may be made to the Riter C. Hulsey Public Library, 301 N. Rockwall Ave., Terrell, Tx 75160.
