Rosemary Williams, age 82, passed away peacefully on December 8, 2024.  She was born and raised in Ripon and was a lifelong resident. After attending Atlanta Elementary School and graduating from Ripon High School, Rosemary worked at Bank of America. There she met Lammert Williams, who worked at Swier Tire across the street. The two were married on April 14, 1962, and had three daughters.

When her youngest daughter started school, Rosemary began working as a secretary at Calvary Reformed Church, where she served faithfully for 18 years.  Later, she progressed to work as an administrative secretary for Yosemite Community College in Modesto, from where she eventually retired.

Rosemary was known for her kindness and dedication to her family.  She will be greatly missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.  She leaves behind a legacy of love and service that will be cherished by those she touched throughout her life. She is survived by her husband (Lammert), her daughters, Denise (Don) Corbett, Lynette (Mike) Welkley, Jennifer (Greg) Gerstenberg, 8 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.

A service to honor her memory will be held on January 18, 2025 at 11:00am at the Calvary Community Center at Calvary Church, 741 Second Street, Ripon, CA.  A small reception will provide an opportunity to gather in fellowship and remembrance.
