Nancy L. Williams (née Pearce), 92, of West Deptford, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 29, 2025.

A Quiet and Steady Presence

Nancy lived a simple, thoughtful life centered on family, faith, and the familiar comforts of home. She especially looked forward to summers in Ocean City, New Jersey, where she enjoyed the ocean breeze, time with loved ones, and a slower pace. She found joy in everyday routines-lunch with friends and caring for her home (and a long line of cats, each somehow named Roscoe).

Nancy was the beloved wife of 30 years to the late Kenneth Williams, Esq. She was a devoted mother to the late Regina Williams, Teresa A. Ramsay (James), and Jody Williams Baker (late Sterling). She also shared many meaningful years with Steve Turdo, Jody's longtime companion, who remained a steady presence in her later life.

She was a loving grandmother to Amie Marshall (Dave) and David Simpson (Katie Ruyman), and a proud great-grandmother to Max, Zoe, Tre, and Cameron. She was predeceased by her parents, Olive and John Pearce, and her siblings. Nancy will be fondly remembered by her nieces, nephews, extended family, and those whose lives were gently touched by her steady kindness.

Nancy was laid to rest privately beside her husband at Eglington Cemetery in Clarksboro, New Jersey
