Marie Wright Williard TH-
ley was bom on March 7,
1927 and died on June 10,
2014.
After retiring, she began
to make quilts. It became a
passion, and her many quilts
grace the homes of family and
friends. Her real talent was
bringing together the diverse
squares of those in her life and
melding those squares into a
work of beauty. Her commu
nity in Ararat, in pajiicular
hcf church family at Ml. Zion
Baptist Church, became a cen
tral piece of her life quilt. She
always offered kind words, a
I helping hand, a poem for her
' Sunday school class mem
bers, and, of course, a quilt
for church raffles. Age aird
pain intruded on her ability
to complete the many quilting
projects that she had in prog
ress. Under the care of Ronda
and Hank in their home and
later at Brighton Gardens, she
shared with her children mo
ments of reminiscence, hu
mor, and the boundless love
and faith that filled her life.
