Julia F. Williams, born Julia F. Wilkins, passed away peacefully at her residence in Dayton, Texas, on Monday, October 5, 2026. She was born on March 3, 1938, in Coleman, Texas, and carried with her throughout her life the roots of the community where she was raised.

Julia grew up in Coleman and graduated from Coleman High School in 1959. She went on to serve the people of Texas through her work with the State of Texas Protective Services, retiring after many years of dedicated service. Her career reflected a steady commitment to helping others, and she will be remembered for the care and faithfulness she brought to both her work and her home life.

Above all, Julia loved her family immensely. She especially enjoyed the time she spent with her grandson John and his children, moments that brought her deep happiness and lasting meaning. Her love for her family was a defining part of her life and will remain a treasured memory for those who knew her best.

She is survived by her son, Norman Tucker, and by her grandsons, John Carroll and wife Veronica, Justin Tucker, and Cody Tucker. Each of them carries forward the memory of her love, strength, and devotion to family. Julia is also survived by her great-grandchildren, Gabriel, Josiah, Abigail, and Bethany. 

Julia was preceded in death by her husband, Joe C. Williams; her daughter, Becky Tucker; her father, Isaac Eugene Wilkins; and her mother, Winnie Kimmell Wilkins. Their memories remained part of her life and story, and her family finds comfort in that lasting bond.

A graveside service for Julia F. Williams will be held on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at Coleman City Cemetery, 1600 East 9th Street, in Coleman. Services are entrusted to Stevens Funeral Home, 400 W. Pecan Street, in Coleman.
