Walter Alvin Williams Jr.

Walter Alvin Williams Jr. was born on December 31, 1948, at Poole Hospital in Lindsay, Oklahoma, to Walter Alvin Williams Sr. and Frances (Rogers) Williams. He passed away at the age of 77 on October 25, 2026. He lived in Alex, Oklahoma, until the age of three, when his family moved to Oklahoma City, where he lived until he was drafted into the United States Army in 1968.

Walter met the love of his life, Edna, in high school. Although they had lived near one another since approximately the time Edna was in first grade, they did not meet until the tenth grade. They were introduced on a blind date arranged by Edna’s cousins, Donna and Paula. Walter and Edna married in 1967, beginning a lifelong partnership built on love, hard work, and shared memories.

In 1968, Walter was drafted into the Army and sent to Vietnam, where he served with the 9th Infantry Division in the Mekong Delta during the Tet Offensive. He was awarded the Purple Heart for his service. After serving in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969, Walter returned home just in time for Edna’s high school graduation.

Following his military service, Walter returned to civilian life and began working to provide for his family. He worked at Western Electric and later at Prestolite Battery before beginning a career with the United States Postal Service, where he worked for 25 years before retiring.

In 1970, Walter and Edna moved to the Dibble, Oklahoma, area to begin building their life together. With the help of friends and family, they built their own home, where they lived for more than four decades before Walter moved to Newcastle, Oklahoma, in 2012.

Walter was a talented man who was mechanically gifted and could fix, build, or figure out just about anything. As a young man, he enjoyed hot-rodding cars. He also loved hunting and fishing and enjoyed the outdoors. Walter and Edna shared many traditions over the years, including planting a garden together every year.

Walter was a generous man who cared about others and was always willing to lend a hand. His mechanical talents, hardworking nature, and generosity were defining qualities that endeared him to those who knew him.

Walter will be remembered by his loving wife, Edna; his son, Russell; his granddaughters, Cassidy and Adrea; his grandson, Griffin; his sister, Vivian McDonald; and the many other family members and loved ones whose lives he touched.

Walter’s life was defined by his service to his country, his love for his family, and the life he and Edna built together. His generous spirit, know-how, and love of the outdoors will remain cherished parts of his legacy, and the memories he leaves behind will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
