Mary Josephine (Jo) Steele Williams, 92, passed away on Tuesday, December 22nd at Atrium Health in Pineville after a brief illness. Born in Mecklenburg County, she was the daughter of Clark Steele and ElizebethSustar Steele. Jo married Paul Lee Williams in 1946 and they had 67 wonderful years together living in the Charlotte and Indian Trail areas. Most recently, she lived at the Laurels assisted living apartments in Pineville. Jo is survived by three children, two wonderful daughters-in-law and one terrific son-in-law. Mike and Judy Williams of Raleigh; Steve and Jeannine Williams of Charlotte; and Debbie and William Beeker of Lexington. She adored her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildrenand loved attending their activities. Jo never met a referee or umpire that she agreed with and clearly let them all know. She was very proud of her long 30+ year career in retail sales at the Belk store in uptown Charlotte and the Monroe Mall Belk. Jo frequently reflected on those years, the personalities she met and the pride in doing her job well. We will always remember our Mom and Mamaw’s ability to hug us in happiness, praise us in failures and love us unconditionally. She was so very proud of her family and expressed those heartfelt words to us frequently. The immediate family will hold a private gathering on Monday, December 28th at the Heritage Funeral Home in Indian Trail with interment following at Sunset Memory Gardens in Mint Hill. Thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers on this day. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to the organization of your choice.
