Imogene Williams

Imogene Williams, 92, of Fayetteville, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at the Prairie Grove Health and Rehab Center.

She was born on April 13, 1933, in Mossville, Arkansas, to the late Virgil Edgmon and Annie (Reynolds) Edgmon. On January 2, 1957, she married the love of her life, Fletcher Williams, and together they shared 60 years of devotion and companionship before his passing.

Imogene worked many years for Shakespeare as a fishing reel assembler. She was a faithful member of Fayetteville First Freewill Baptist Church for approximately 50 years. In her quiet moments, she enjoyed quilting and crocheting, but her greatest joys came from reading and spending time with her beloved family. Imogene was a devout believer in Christ. She was known for her kind demeanor and seemingly unending patience.
