Thomas Allen Williams, known to some as Tommy and to others as Tom, was called into his eternal rest on Monday, July 27, 2020.  He was born January 4, 1949 in Mason County, Kentucky, to the late William Clayton Williams and Naomi Kiles Williams of Maysville, Kentucky.  He was married to Mary Jackson Williams of 36 years and father to Travis A. Williams, who lives in Mason, Ohio.

Tommy attended the Mayslick Colored School for his early years of education and graduated from the Mason County High School in 1967.  He was hard working tobacco and dairy farmer in early life, worked as a bus driver and custodian before moving into his long career in power plant maintenance work.  After taking many training courses he worked  his way up to being an instructor before retiring from Duke Energy in December, 2012.  This career helped him in gaining skills in being "Mr. Fix It Man" around Greater Mt. Sinai Baptist Church.

Kentucky held a special place in Tommy's heart, and for those who knew him, know that he is a "big Kentucky Wildcats fan" and Cincinnati Reds baseball fan.  His brothers, some of his sisters, cousins, brother-in-law, nephews, and Travis for over 15 years attended the Southern Conference (SEC) tournament, true Kentucky fan.

He was a former Mason member of Acacia #24 of Maysville, KY and served as Master, also District Deputy Grand Master for the Eastern district of Kentucky PHA.

Tommy moved to North Carolina in February, 1984 when he and wife Mary joined Greater Mt. Sinai Baptist Church where he served in many positions of the Sunday School Ministry and over 35 years in the Trustee Ministry holding as Trustee, Chairman of Trustee Ministry, and ending his earthly position as Vice Chairman.  He came to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at an early age and always involved in Church work and of service to God.

Tommy was fourth in a family of eleven children.  Four brothers preceded him in death: John Williams, David Lee, Ronald Eugene and Albert Clayton Williams.  He leaves to cherish many memories his devoted wife, Mary Williams; son, Travis Williams (Marie) of Mason, OH; grandchildren, Marlie and Maverick Williams; siblings, Charles Samuel Williams (Barbara) of Enterprise, AL; Mary Katherine Branch (Keith) of Indianapolis, IN; Kenneth Ray Williams (Donna) of Maysville, KY; Linda Sue Fellner (Barry) of Grove City, OH; Anna Louise Dixon (Clifton); and Sabra R.
