Emery Foster Bealer Williams passed away on Friday, October 28, 2022 in Jennings, Florida with his wife of 31 years, Evelyn Williams, by his side. He was born in Columbus, Ohio on December 30, 1938. A veteran, Emery served in the Navy for 20 years, retiring in 1976 as a Chief Petty Officer. He was also a business owner, owning Williams Auto and Truck Service in Jacksonville, Florida, and later in Logan, Ohio for eighteen years each. Emery was a man of many interests. He competed in stock car racing in Jacksonville and Lake City with car numbers 45 and 76. Emery restored tractors, dump trucks, and regularly attended tractor shows across the country with his wife, Evelyn. His favorite tractor was called "Big Blue". He also enjoyed building birdhouses, raising farm animals, and gardening.

A Protestant, his only heavenly request was to have a country home in heaven, as he felt there would be too many people in "the city of gold". He was preceded by his parents, Emerson Williams and Laura Bealer, his sisters, Mary Ann Williams and Grace Magnum, and his dogs, Buddy (Williams) I, II, and III .

He is survived by: his wife, Evelyn Williams; his first wife, Lillie Ann Reese; his brother, Joseph E. Williams; his sisters, Diana Goins and Edna Clayton (Milford J.); his daughters, Kimberly Mullins (Greg), Laura "Nzingha" Williams Burgos (Andre), Miranda Johnson (Lenardo), and Marcia Danielson (Damon); his grandchildren, MA2 Troy J. Glover (Jasmine), Justin (Moon) Williams, Balewa Williams, Chance Williams, Jerusalem Danielson, Zion Danielson, and Israel Danielson; and his great-grandchildren, Christian Glover and Onyx Glover. His graveside service will be held at Forest Grove Cemetery in Plain City, Ohio on November 10th at 12:00 pm. There will also be a memorial in Jennings for close friends and family.
