Roxanne Williams was born July 29, 1960 in Bainbridge, GA, the daughter of Cecil and Juanita McCullers Williams. She was a dispatcher at Walter Farms. Roxanne was of Baptist faith.
Roxanne had an investigative spirit. She loved to get to the bottom of things and could be found learning new strategies while watching investigative reports on television. Her favorite place was home where she spent most of her time outside of work. Roxanne also enjoyed everything about the Flint River. She searched for rocks and arrowheads when she wasn’t air boating. Roxanne’s grandchildren have fond memories of swimming with “Granny” on the Creek.
