By obits


Jerry W. Williams, 61, of Finleyville, Nottingham Township, died Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2021, in his home. Born Sept. 2, 1959, in Monongahela, he was the son of the late Lloyd G. Sr. and Betty Sumney Williams. He was a 1977 graduate of Monongahela High School and a member of St. Andrew the Apostle Parish in Monongahela. A master plumber by trade, Jerry had worked as a pipefitter for over 20 years at ATI Jessop Mill in Washington, Pa., and also as the plumbing inspector for the City of Washington, until his retirement from both in 2011. Jerry enjoyed hunting, but most of all spending time taking care of his farm. Surviving are his wife, Cheryl L. Franz Williams, whom he married Nov. 10, 1990; two daughters, Hillary and Hannah Williams, both of Finleyville; a brother, Lloyd G. Jr. and wife Dian Williams of The Villages, Fla. Preceding him in death was his brother, David Williams; a sister, Patty Crawford and a brother-in-law, Richard Crawford. Friends will be received from 3 to 6:30 p.m. at MARSHALL MARRA FUNERAL HOME, 216 Chess St., Monongahela, 724-258-6767, Friday, Feb. 12, at which time a service will begin with Father Kevin Dominik officiating. A Mass of Christian burial will be held for Jerry later this summer.
