Rose E. Williams

WILLIAMS, Rose Ellen Age 87, of Hamilton, passed away December 17, 2022 in Hamilton. She was born June 11, 1935 in Hamilton, the daughter of Matthew and Dema (Maness) Marcum.  Rose graduated from Fairfield High School in 1953.  On September 18, 1954 she married William G. “Bill” Williams in Hamilton.

Rose’s detail-oriented personality allowed her to thrive in the world of interior design and real estate.  She was a member of Darrtown United Methodist Church.  Rose enjoyed shopping and had exquisite taste in fashion especially her love for shoes. She liked to travel, frequenting Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee, Branson, Missouri and a special girl’s trip each year.  Rose loved watching sports, especially the Cincinnati Reds, and tuning into her favorite reality and game shows like Dancing with the Stars, Shark Tank and the Bachelor/ette.  And the fun didn’t stop there, as she could also be found winning big at the racino.  She loved spending time with her family, and treasured many special friendships including the Tabor Ladies & the Pohlman Family.

She is survived by her sons, William Gregory (Mary Lou Sauer) Williams and Kurtis M. (Sharon) Williams; grandchildren, Ashli M. (Christopher) Chagman, Aubrey R. (Travis) Gamble and John K.
