Patricia Elaina Williams, affectionately known to all as "Patti," passed away peacefully on September 5th after a courageous battle with Lewy Body Dementia. She leaves behind a profound legacy of devotion, joy, and unconditional love for her family and animals.

Born on February 21, 1957, in Washington County, Georgia, Patti was the cherished daughter of the late Joyce Kramp and Ed Bell. She was a proud 1975 graduate of Warner Robins High School and remained a loyal Demon fan throughout her life. Known for her sharp intellect and exceptional work ethic, Patti spent over 30 years excelling in the finance industry.

Patti’s heart belonged entirely to her family and her faith. Her mother, Joyce, was her lifelong best friend—a special connection Patti lovingly mirrored and poured into her own daughters, Nicole and Michelle. She cherished time spent with her husband, David, especially traveling and exploring the outdoors. She was a faithful member of The Assembly in Warner Robins, where she regularly attended women’s events, Bible studies, and church programs alongside her family. A woman of steadfast conviction, one of her favorite scripture passages was Matthew 10:29–31, which she often shared with her daughters as a source of comfort during life's trials. Guided by her lighthearted wisdom, Patti would frequently remind those around her, “Don’t sweat the small stuff, It’ll be alright and God don’t like ugly”.

With her vibrant soul and endless energy, Patti lived life to a soundtrack of country, gospel, and rock music. Seeing Elvis Presley live in the 1970s was one of the absolute highlights of her life—a passion for live music she passed down to her daughters by taking them to concerts from early childhood into adulthood. Growing up, her kids cherished her legendary "carpool karaoke" sessions, where singing and dancing to the oldies turned everyday drives into lifelong memories.

Patti also held a deep love for classic entertainment, particularly Gone with the Wind. Her admiration for Scarlett O’Hara was proudly displayed in her home, where she dedicated an entire guest room to GWTW memorabilia. When she wasn't lost in a good book, Patti found peace near the water, whether fishing or simply listening to the waves. Her immense compassion extended to all animals, especially her beloved Shih Tzus and her sweet Rosie.

Patti’s memory will be forever cherished by her devoted husband, David Williams of Warner Robins; her loving children, Nicole Crofutt (Jimmy), Michelle Lawson, and Noah Williams, all of Warner Robins; her stepdaughter, Kristin Thomas (Ben) of Perry; her brother, Jimmy Bell (Tonya) of Henderson; and her stepfather, Walter Kramp of Melbourne, FL; along with many nieces, nephews, who loved their "Aunt Patti" dearly and a multitude of dear friends.

Her legacy of love lives on through her grandchildren, who proudly called her "Noni": Aaron Lawson (Stephanie), Dalton Crofutt, Dakota Crofutt (Bailey), Haley Scott (Tavaris), Nicolas Grimes, and Gracie Crofutt; as well as her precious great-grandchildren, Trystan and Annie Scott, Nora Jane Crofutt, Logan Crofutt, Lizzy Garrett, Aiden and Ella Hall, and John and Kaizleigh Willis.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Joyce Kramp and Ed Bell.

Visitation with Patti’s family will be Tuesday, September 8, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at McCullough Funeral Home with the funeral service celebrating her life following in the chapel. After the service, Patti will be laid to rest in Magnolia Park Cemetery.
