BARTLESVILLE EXAMINER-ENTERPRISE
BARTLESVILLE, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)

June was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James Edward Williams; her parents, Madison White and Lillie Lenora (Clark) Randolph; and her brother, Roy Randolph.

She is survived by two children, Mona Williams Calvert and her husband, Darryl, of Fayetteville, AR and Rick Williams and his wife, Carolyn, of New Braunfels, TX; grandchildren, Richard Williams of Houston, TX, Thad Williams and his wife, Dawn, of Austin, TX, Jennifer Williams Moreno and her husband, Basilio of New Braunfels, TX, Kelly Calvert Stewart and her husband, Jack, of Fayetteville, AR and eight great grandchildren. She is also survived by her twin sister, Jean Jeffers, her sister, Bettye Firor, and her brother, Madison Randolph, plus a host of loving nieces and nephews.

June began and ended her life as a proud Texan. Born in Dallas, she moved with her family across Texas where she attended twelve different schools before she graduated from Forest Avenue High School back in Dallas. She was working at Traveler's Insurance in downtown Dallas when she met the love of her life, Jim Williams. They were married on September 5, 1948 and eventually moved to Bartlesville, OK where they spent forty-seven happy years together. June returned to her Texas roots when she moved to New Braunfels in 2008 where she enjoyed the warmth, her family and the bluebonnets.

An avid sports fan, June proudly wore the colors of her favorite teams – the Oklahoma State Cowboys, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Texas Rangers. She also closely followed professional golf from the days of Arnold Palmer to Rickie Fowler and made several trips to her favorite tournament - The Masters. June was often teased by her family for her exuberant cheering at games in real life and on television, but that never hindered her enjoyment of sports.
A life-long passion for travel, ignited by her interest in geography and history from her school days, took June on multiple trips to Europe exploring the continent from top to bottom, side to side. She also vacationed many times in Mexico and various Caribbean islands, journeyed three times to China as well as Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Thailand, toured Australia and New Zealand with stops in Tahiti and Fiji, and visited all 50 states. Her only travel regrets were not seeing the Egyptian pyramids and St. Petersburg, Russia.
The joys that June found in being with family were equaled by the joys she brought them. Her laughter, her poise, her strength, and above all, her love provided her husband, children, and others happiness, security, cakes, and cookies.
