Jimmie Lee Williams, 87, of Casa Grande died on May 6, 2022.

Mr. Williams was born on June 22, 1934, in Longview, Texas, to Willie Lee Williams and Sarah Jones-Williams.
He was a young man when he came to Arizona, and he stayed with his auntie Jewel and uncle Speed. He enjoyed the outdoors, liked going fishing and planting in the garden — sunflowers were his favorite — and loved his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He loved riding his scooter alongside his great-grandson while he rode his bike.

He is survived by nine sons and daughters, Douglas, Ezila, Willie, Jimmy, Sarah, Beaver, Laydona, Cindy and Ocie B. Williams; two siblings, Lola Mae McClung and Luther Linn Williams; 20 grandchildren; and 24 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Mildred, and six siblings, Charles, Lois, Rossie Lee and Hazel Williams, Bonnie Gene Ervin and Bulah Mae London.
