Obituary
Charlene Williams, surrounded by
family, was peacefully called from her earthly home
in Argyle, Texas, to her eternal home in Heaven on
May 10, 2024. Charlene was born in Dongola, Arkansas
on May 30, 1939, to Coy and Iva (Daniel) Bryan.
Charlene raised her sons in Delavan, and when they
were grown, she moved to Lincoln.
In 1983, Charlene married Roger Williams of Lincoln.
Roger was the love of her life, and they enjoyed
many years together before he passed away in July
2000.
Charlene worked at the Lehn & Fink factory from 1963
to 1995, where she was recognized many times with
awards for her excellence in production, her
impeccable attendance and company loyalty. It was
her first and only job, and her hard work paid off.
She was very fortunate to be offered early
retirement at the young age of 56.
In 2000, Charlene re-dedicated her life to Jesus
Christ, and joined First Baptist Church of Lincoln.
She was lovingly discipled and baptized by Pastor
Robert Henderson. She cherished her friendship with
Pastor Robert and his family and grew strong in her
faith under their leadership.
Charlene faithfully served the Lord, and her church
family in many areas: Youth ministry, “Women of
Faith” women’s ministry, funeral ministry, and
Senior's ministry. Charlene was so proud of her
church home and worked cheerfully to keep it looking
beautiful. From cleaning the kitchen, straightening
up the sanctuary and planting flowers out front; she
longed to make it a place that God would be honored,
and everyone feel loved and welcomed!
Charlene enjoyed gardening, cooking, planting
flowers, playing cards, and gathering with family &
friends. She was so generous with all God had gifted
her and loved to share it with those she loved!
She was preceded in death by her parents (Coy & Iva
Bryan), her husband (Roger Williams), her brother
(Clifton Bryan), youngest son (Jeffery Horton) and
stepson (Gregory Williams). |
She is survived by her oldest son,
Randy Horton, and his wife Traci of Argyle, TX; two
stepsons: Jeff Williams of AZ, and Daniel Williams
of Lincoln; two cherished like “sons”: Todd (Jodi)
Horton of Fort Worth, TX, Eric Horton of Conway, AR;

TX; six great-grandchildren: Kinley, Jett, Davy,
Brynlee, Beau, and Nathan. Other survivors include
many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
