Mary Williamson

Mary Brown Williamson, 92, of Cobbtown, GA, passed away peacefully at Azalealand Nursing Home on March 16, 2026.

She was born to Lenwood Elmore and Florence Collins Brown on June 12, 1933, in Cobbtown, GA. She

spent most of her life in her hometown, where she succeeded in many life pursuits and had fun in the process.

Mary graduated from Brewton-Parker College with an associate degree in secretarial business and engaged in several professional endeavors. These included roles as law clerk for John Rabun, manager at Tattnall Auto Parts, housewife, and owner of her salon, Mary & Friends.

Mary played a significant role in her community. Her salon was memorialized as a social hub, where fellowship could be fostered and Mary’s wit could be witnessed. She was members of Connors Baptist Church and Cobbtown Baptist Church, places where she loved to worship.

Her passions included fishing with her friends at Shellman Bluff and local river banks, growing and shucking corn from her own fields, and cheering for her beloved Georgia Bulldogs.

Of utmost importance to her was her family, in which she inculcated core values in her children, Hughes and Val, and seized every opportunity to be with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Notably, Mary was a skilled cook and always overjoyed at providing meals made with intention and care. She was a persistent fighter and bona fide perfectionist until her last days.

Mary was predeceased by her husband, Hugh Williamson, and sisters, Margaret Sikes and Joyce Brewer. She is survived by her children, Hughes Williamson (Anne) and Valarea Bowers (Bill); her grandchildren, Matthew Williamson, Jonathan Williamson (Lindsay), Dyer Bowers, and Regan Adent (John); and great grandchildren, Pierce, Greer, Fowler, Ford, Forrest and Fitts.

The funeral service will be held 11 o’clock in the morning on Thursday, March 19 at Cobbtown Baptist Church. The family will receive friends from 9 o’clock in the morning until the time of the funeral on Thursday at the Church.

Interment will be in Sunlight Cemetery.
