Minnie Ann Martin Williams
July 20, 1923 — June 24, 2014
Born Friday, July 20, 1923 in Amherst, Virginia, Minnie was a daughter of the late Mannie Dewey Martin and the late Annie Tomlin Martin.
In addition to her husband and parents, Minnie was preceded in death by her three sisters: Pearl Martin, Neather Martin, and Maggie Grant; and a brother, Arthur Martin.
Minnie is survived by three daughters: , Fay W Grant and her husband, Joe, of Hickory, NC, Margaret Bryant and her husband, Lee, of Lynchburg, and Madeline Mayberry and her husband, Tadd, of Madison Heights; grandchildren: Danielle, Joshua, Hannah, Abby, Crystal, Dawn, Darrell, Joe, and Jenny; four great grandchildren; a brother, Boyd Martin, of Madison Heights, and a sister, Addie Martin, of Sweet Briar.
Minnie AKA “Ms Minnie”, “Minnie HaHa”, “Minnie Pearl”, Mom, Grandma, Granny or Grams. Minnie was described by all as the sweetest, most caring person they had ever met. She had a strong faith and deeply loved everyone. Her laugh was fiercely contagious and her smile lit up the room. Minnie was a loving mother, daughter and wife. She was strong-willed and persevered through many life struggles. Although she never drove a car, Minnie never missed a day of work and always managed to take her children to church every Sunday. During her last few years, she continued to be supportive of her family. She loved to attend as many of her grand children’s activities as she could (soccer games, band concerts, dance performances.)
Having grown up on a farm, Minnie always loved animals. She loved flowers and gardening. She loved singing hymns and bluegrass music.
Minnie was loved by all and will be greatly missed.
