Mrs.
LUCRETIA “MA LUE” WILLIAMS
It is with the deepest of sadness that the children
of Lucretia Williams announce to the public
the peaceful home-going of their mother in the
92nd year of her life. This sad but expected
occurrence in life took place in Newark, New
Jersey, on Wednesday March 3, 2010 at 6:15 AM.
As a young person, Mrs. Williams studied and
qualified as a midwife nurse and worked for
LAMCO in that capacity for more than two decades.
As a midwife nurse, Mrs. Williams presided over
the births of countless number of children,
some of whom returned to LAMCO as employees
and saw their own children born under the professional
supervision of this remarkable woman. In addition
to this, the home of Mrs. Williams became a
place where the students of Carroll High School
and footballers from Monrovia congregated for
weekends. As a result, everybody took to her
as a mother and she affectionately became known
as “Ma Lue.”
Mrs. Williams is survived by her children, Mrs.
Jerusha-Davis of Newark, New Jersey, Marbue
Williams of Minnesota, and Mrs. Carmen Williams-Wisseh
of New York City, two nieces, Evelyn Wright-Garnette
and Vivian Wright-Barnes, niece-in-law Annie
Wright, sister-in-laws Chinko Williams and Edna
Bailey and other relatives too many to name.
Also surviving her are grandchildren Decontee
Davis of Atlanta, Georgia, Jaytornah Nyankun
Wisseh, Kunnuh- Gbeh Wisseh, Nyonty Dabah Wisseh
of New York and her son-in-laws, Lee Davis and
Benedict Wisseh. Her husband, Mr. Charles G.
Williams, died in 1995. Her only siblings, Theodosia
Peal- Wright and Sen. Alfred Raynes, nephews
Tommy Raynes, Arnold Wright, and Raymond Wright
predeceased her. The burial of Mrs. Williams
will take place in Newark, New Jersey, on March
20, 2010. After wake Keeping activities will
continue at the Liberian Community Center on
122 Roseville Ave Newark, NJ 07107.
