Pamela W. Williams, 79, wife of James Harvey Williams, of Greenville, died Thursday, February 23, 2023.

Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, she was the daughter of the late Martha and Flave Adam Williams.

Pam graduated from Garinger High School in Charlotte, NC in 1962, where many lifelong friendships began. One of these being with her husband Jim, who she was married to for 56 years. Mrs. Williams, in addition to raising a family, maintained a career as an administrative assistant until she retired with Threat Michael Construction. Her many friendships through the years include very special long-lasting friends from high school.  Additionally, she has special relationships with those from the Clarice Wilson Garden Club, where she served as president from 2010-2011.  She also greatly valued her relationships created from the Women’s Club, and those from her church John Knox Presbyterian.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by two sons, James G. Williams (Anne) and Bryan M. Williams (Jennifer); six grandchildren, Taylor, Thomas, Jack, Hudson, Hayden and Reed;  and one brother, Ray A. Williams of Severna Park, Maryland.

A visitation will be held Tuesday, February 28, 2023 from 10:30 a.m. until 11:45 a.m. at Thomas McAfee Funeral Homes, Downtown, followed by the funeral service at 12:00 p.m. in the chapel.  A private burial will follow at Woodlawn Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to the St. Francis Health System Foundation, One St. Francis Drive, Greenville SC, 29601, as well as www.stfrancisfoundation.com . The care, dignity and grace provided to Mrs. Williams and her family by the Bon Secours St. Francis staff was exceptional and greatly appreciated.   A heart felt thank you to Open Arms Hospice and McCall Hospice House as well as the John Knox Presbyterian Staff.

Pam was my older cousin. I have so many wonderful memories of our family being together. Her smile could light up the room, along with her wonderful sense of humor. Although many years have past since I’ve seen Pam, I will always remember her kindness, love for family and care for my own Mom and Dad. She was a blessing to all who knew her! With much love, Lynn Black

Words can not describe how sad I am losing such a dear friend! Pam was an inspiration to so many of us in the Clarice Wilson Garden Club! Her spirit will be with us as we toil in the Plant it Pink Garden she started for years to come so others may have a quiet time to meditate while they or their loved one have chemo at the Prisma Cancer treatment center.

We will forever be grateful for the joy Granny Pam brought into our lives. Her jubilant zest for life, the joyous smile that went all the way to her eyes, and her encapsulating love for all who entered into her space; these are the memories we will cherish. We look forward with hope to the day when we will see her again. Don't you know she is peppering Jesus with all sorts of fun questions?! Praying for your strength and endurance in the coming days.
