FRANKLIN - Retha Williams Day, born on Oct. 6, 1922, went on to Glory on Feb. 25, 2022.
The daughter of Alva James Williams and Alta Suggs Williams. Retha’s faith was very important to her. She accepted Christ when she was just 12 years old and remained faithful to Him throughout her life.
Retha worked as a dietitian for 30 years with the school system in Collier County, Florida. Upon retirement her entrepreneurial spirit blossomed, and she owned several successful businesses. Despite staying busy with her career, she always found time for her passion for growing things. She loved working outside and was known as an avid gardener.
Retha was kind, funny, and dedicated to her children and grandchildren. She possessed a contagious positive attitude that, along with her great sense of humor, made her friends and family enjoy being with her. She will be remembered for being a wonderful person and a great human being.
Retha is survived by her children, Paul Williams (Ruth) and Linda Williams (Kirby) both of Florida and Judy St. John (Chuck) of Franklin; grandchildren, Jerry Rutledge, Denise Wahlers, Clay Taylor and Clint Taylor; along with numerous other friends and family.
Retha was a member of Windy Gap Baptist Church. A celebration of life will be held at the church on Monday, March 14, at 3 p.m. Rev. Mark Bishop and Rev. Don Moffitt will officiate.
The family would like to thank Four Seasons Hospice and Franklin House for their genuine care, and for making everything so peaceful.
