Hildegard Panz Williams, 88, of Rockingham, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 27, 2025.
Born on June 7, 1937, in Wurzburg, Germany, Hildegard was the daughter of the late Otto and Maria Panz.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James Preston Williams, Sr., her parents, and her sisters. She is also remembered by many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.
Hildegard is survived by her devoted children, Heidi Williams Crowley and James Williams, Jr.; her beloved grandchildren, Kimberly Williams and Jennifer Crowley; and her great-grandchildren, Luke Dumas, Isabella Williams, Gabriella Williams, Victoria Kendrick, and a little one expected in August.
A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, Hildegard lived a life centered around family. She took pride in caring for her home and nurturing those she loved. Her strength, wisdom, and quiet kindness touched all who knew her, and her legacy of love and dedication will continue in the hearts of her family.
Per her wishes, there will be no funeral services.
In honor of Hildegard's life, the family invites you to reflect on the importance of family, the comfort of home, and the enduring power of love.
