Minnie L. Williams

Minnie Lee Williams 85, of Bunceton, MO, passed away Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Tipton Oak Manor.

She was born on August 15, 1941, in Boonville, MO, a daughter of Ben and Mary Margaret (Meyer) Scott.

Minnie was a 1959 graduate of Pilot Grove High School. She began a cherished chapter of her life on August 26, 1961, when she married Arthur Estell Williams at Peninsula Baptist Church in Blackwater.

Minnie worked at the shoe factory in Boonville before continuing her career at banks in Bunceton, Prairie Home, and Boonville. She was a faithful member of Oakland Baptist Church in Clarksburg, Missouri.

Minnie found joy in life's simple, beautiful pleasures. Her kitchen was a place of warmth, filled with the comforting aromas of home-cooked meals and freshly baked treats. She delighted in tending her garden and yard, nurturing growing things with patient care. Through canning, she preserved the bounty of each season to enjoy in the months ahead.

Her memory will remain a treasured part of the lives of those who knew and loved her.
