Herman H. Williams

Herman H. Williams, 85, of Meadville, went home to be with his Lord on Sunday, November 11, 2018. He was at home surrounded by his family.

Herman was born in Meadville, on August 24, 1933, a son of the late Richard and Anna (Cox) Williams.

On June 1, 1985 he married Beverly A. McClure; she survives.

Herm was a faithful member of United Faith Fellowship Church of God under the leadership of Pastor Markus McDaniel. He served as a Church Deacon since 1999 and as a Trustee since 1991. Additionally he cleaned the church for over 20 years.

Herm enjoyed life and found joy in working. After many years with Abex (later known as ABC Rail), Herm retired and went on to work for Chip Blaster and Valesky Grocery, retiring again in 2016. Herm had been a member of Triple City Elks for many years and had served as House Chairman. He loved children and became an "uncle/father figure" to many. He will be lovingly remembered by his deep voice, joking spirit and boisterous laughter. He will be missed.

In addition to his wife Beverly, of 33 years, Herm is survived by four children Yvonne "Pudgie" Winn, Monae "Nae Nae" Eddins, Rochelle Hill, Ratonna Hill; nine grandchildren Tyson Winn (Ki Ki), Melissa Winn, Stephen Winn (Shanahsha), Wayne Ferguson, Marcus Eddins, Iman Hill Burns, Billron Hill, Juane Leandre Hill, DeAngelo Hill; nine great grandchildren Jabbar Jones, Jr., Tytiyana Winn, Stantae Winn, Chantel Winn, Chanel Winn, Stephen Winn, Jr., Zythaniel Winn, La'Shaw Ferguson, La'Mayah Ferguson; a sister Larcenia Williams-Tate; seven brothers in law Rev.

He is further survived by his godchildren Kendra Thompson, DeMarius Newsome, Kiashiah Newsome, Diandra Newsome, and Marquel Henry.

In addition to his parents, Herm was preceded in death by a son Russell Hill, six sisters Dorothy, Mary Jane, Geraldine, Emily, Richlene and Joan.
