Milton Adam 'Milt' Williams, 79, of Charleston, SC, husband of Marilyn Manning Williams, entered into eternal rest October 11, 2018. The relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Adam Williams are invited to attend his Mass of Christian Burial 10:00 AM Thursday, October 18, 2018 at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1695 Raoul Wallenberg Blvd, Charleston. The Rite of Committal will follow at St. Joseph Columbarium at the church. The family will receive friends between 6:00 and 8:00 PM, with a 5:45 PM Rosary, Wednesday evening at the James A. McAlister Funeral Home, 1620 Savannah Highway.
Milt was born December 10, 1938, in Cordele, GA, a son of the late Bernice Long and Robert Clarence Williams. He was a 1956 graduate of Paxon High School in Jacksonville, FL. A veteran of the U.S. Air Force Reserves, Milt was a retired Electrical Salesman for the former Cameron and Barkley, now Hagemeyer. He was an avid sportsman: a runner who completed several half marathons, dedicated softball coach for the Knights of Columbus, Lowcountry Rebels, and several traveling teams, a golf coach for the St. Joseph Boys' Golf team, President of the St. Joseph Athletic Association, and a diehard Florida Gators fan. Milt served as the first President of the Mended Hearts at Roper Hospital, an association that offered support to cardiac patients before and after surgery. An active parishioner at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, he served as an altar server for many years. He had many friends, and shared his love of animals with his family. Milt was a loving husband, father, brother, and friend to all who knew him.
Milt is survived by his wife of 56 years, Marilyn Manning Williams; son, Robert M. Williams (Charlene); daughter, Tara Williams Gerardi (Jeff); 2 sisters, Virginia Kennison of Jacksonville, FL, and Carolyn Suits of St. Augustine, FL; a brother, Frank Williams of Keystone Heights, FL, and many nieces and nephews.
The family would like to offer special thanks to the caregivers at Roper Hospice Cottage of Mt. Pleasant for the loving care you offered Milt in his final days. Flowers are accepted, or Memorial Contributions may be made to St. Joseph's Catholic Church Building Fund, the Charleston Animal Society (www.charlestonanimalsociety.org), or the Alzheimer's Association (www.alz.org).
