Mary Rose Williams

May 10, 2021

Mary Rose Williams, 89, of Lancaster, PA went home to be safe in the arms of the Lord on Monday, May 10, 2021. Born in Carbondale, PA, she was the daughter of the late Alexander and Imelda McGowan (Sullivan). She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard “Dick” Williams who passed away in 2004. Mary graduated from Benjamin Franklin High School in 1949. Her many friends, coworkers at Bell Telephone Company, and especially the McGowan family always appreciated Mary's unusually amiable personality. She married Dick Williams in 1957 and moved to Lancaster, PA. Mary volunteered for 30 years as a clerk with the Lancaster Community Hospital. She was a warm and caring wife, mother, and grandmother; she will be dearly missed by everyone who knew her. She is survived by her three children, Richard G. Williams (Judy), Mary C. Shaeffer (Jeff), and Matthew A. Williams (Michelle); her five grandchildren; her sister, Ellen Farrell, close cousin, Ann Judge Connolly and god-child, Maureen Salitsky. Mary was preceded in death by two of her siblings, Imelda McGowan, and Alexander McGowan. A Memorial Mass will be held on Wednesday, May 19, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. at St. James Catholic Church, 505 Woodcrest Avenue, Lititz, PA 17543. Interment will follow after Mass at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery in Annville, PA at 2:00 p.m. Please make donations in Mary’s name to Homestead Village, 1800 Village Circle, Lancaster, PA 17603.
