Lizzie Pearl Silas Williams, lovingly known as Pearl, was born on October 27, 1948, in Mitchell County, Georgia. She departed this life on November 9, 2026, at Mitchell County Hospital. Her life was marked by faith, hard work, care for others, and a deep love for family and community.

At an early age, Pearl confessed Christ and united with Union Missionary Baptist Church. She later united with Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, and her last church affiliation was with Saint Mary Missionary Baptist Church. Her faith was a steady presence throughout her life and was reflected in the way she served and cared for others.

Pearl was a member of the Class of 1966 at Camilla Consolidated High School. She began her working life with Mitchell County Hospital, where she became certified as a dietician. She later worked for Miller Brewing Company in Albany, Georgia, where she remained until her retirement. In every season of life, she carried herself with dedication and purpose.

She found joy in many interests and talents. Pearl loved culinary arts, especially baking, cooking new cuisines, home brewing, and canning and preserving. She also enjoyed singing, working crossword puzzles, and giving of herself through community work. She had a special love for doing for the elderly, and that caring spirit touched many lives.
