Mrs. Williams was the daughter of Clarence and Bernice (Sloan) Overstreet. She married Homer Neal Williams on January 28, 1949 in Bonham, Texas; he preceded her in death on August 18, 2004. Dottie’s parents, Clarence Overstreet and Bernice Sloan Overstreet, brother, Gene Overstreet and  wife Betty, along with many aunts and uncles also precede her in death.

Mrs. Williams graduated nursing school in 1988; it was her pleasure to serve others. Dottie worked at the Bonham VA Hospital and in other hospital in various towns. She was a loved RN by both her co-workers and her patients. Dottie was a longtime member of the Northside Church of Christ in Bonham.

Dottie worked very hard helping her husband on the farm and tending her house. She absolutely thought the world of her son and his family. Dottie was the best grandmother, traveling many times to see her grandbabies until she couldn’t drive anymore. She lived with her son Larry and his wife who cared for her. She got to know her great grandbabies very well as they would bust in her room to say hello and play with her. She was loved very much and will be truly missed as the wonderful woman she was!
