Alma began her life in 1935 in Victoria; the daughter of Eddie and Tempi Jecker and sister to Natalie and Mary Evelyn.

She was also an avid fisherwoman and hunter – activities she enjoyed with Joe and her children. Above all, Alma was a devoted mother and wife who nurtured a loving spirit in her children. Her talents and interests have been thankfully passed on to her children and grandchildren.     Alma Louise is survived by her husband Joe Billy Williams; her children Cathy Williams Lowe, Scott Williams, and Gregg Williams; grandchildren Allen Lowe and wife Meagan, Lena Lowe McCarver and husband Mike, Scott Lowe, Emilee Williams, Clayton Williams, Logan Williams; and great grandson, Luke McCarver; as well as a niece, Judy and husband Fred Brossy, and nephews Jimmy Ruscitto, Joe Atkinson, and Ed Atkinson.       A memorial service will be held at the Stella Maris Chapel in Lamar on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 10 a.m., with a second service in Victoria at St. Mary’s Catholic Church on Saturday, Oct. 8 at 10 a.m. where Alma and Joe began married life on Aug. 9, 1954.
