Myrlin Hope Williams

Myrlin Hope Williams, died Saturday March 25th 2023 in Georgia. She was 72 years old. Affectionately known as “Sista” and “Myrlin Puppy”, she was born on July 22, 1950 in Jamaica as the latter half of a twin tandem, coming 5 days after her sibling, Franklin Williams. She literally entered into the world as a miracle, and made it a better place for everyone who was lucky enough to come in contact with her and experience her big, lively heart. She migrated to the United States from Jamaica in the 1970’s with the goal of putting her children in the best position to flourish. She easily accomplished that, nurturing 6 children into impactful, motivated and successful adults. Myrlin loved to cook and was the top chef in the family. Whether it was a traditional Jamaican dish such as oxtail or a foreign specialty such as spaghetti & meatballs, Myrlin had the Midas touch. Her dining room table was the epicenter of connection during thanksgiving for the family regardless of the location; just be prepared - if dinner is scheduled for 6pm, the food will not be ready until approximately 10pm. While her meals were gourmet, everyone knew to wait until grace was said before sneaking a sample or diving into their plates because she was a passionate, god fearing women. In fact, she is probably currently debating with our father above with this same fervor on whether spaghetti and meatballs originated in Jamaica or not. “Sista” also loved to gamble. If gambling is truly based on luck, then maybe we should all try our hand because having known her makes each of us some of the luckiest people to ever walk this earth. Myrlin didn’t just have a touch of gold, she had a heart that matched. She would regularly open the doors of her home to friends and family in need regardless of the space that she had. She was the epitome of the idiom “Give the shirt off ones back” because she would constantly sacrifice in order to help others. Those around her were showered with love, while feeling protected under her umbrella of comfort. She was preceded in death by Lisa Robinson, mother, Eustace Williams, father; Eustace Williams jr, brother; and Andrew Morgan, son. Myrlin is mourned by 5 children Richard Samuel, Tanya Palmer, Michele Williams, Rashera Williams & Jayquan Anderson; 8 grand children; 8 great grandchildren children; and 2 brothers Franklin Williams and Fred Robinson.
