Born and educated in Augusta, Ga., Rev. Williams began her spiritual journey under the direction of spirit-led grandparents. Upon completing her educational endeavors and receiving a call to ministry, she was licensed to preach the gospel at the Emanuel Institutional Baptist Church in Philadelphia, Pa., under the leadership of pastor Joseph E. Daniels.
She later moved to Chesterfield, joined the Fifth Street Baptist Church under the leadership of pastor F. Todd Gray and was ordained to the ministry after completing her Master of Divinity at Samuel Dewitt Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University.
A call to responsibility from the Lord has Rev. Williams serving with her husband, Rev. Dr. Tyron D. Williams at Mount Olive Baptist Church in Wicomico Church, as associate pastor of Christian education and administration. This union brings together a blended family of three daughters, two grandchildren and a son-in-law.
