Johnnie "Lori" Lynn Williams

Johnnie Lynn “Lori” Williams, age 43, passed away on March 8, 2026, in Gallipolis, Ohio. She was born June 30, 1982, in Virginia, to the late Rebecca June Stevens and Johnny Ray Williams.

She always carried a strong spirit and a story uniquely her own. Above all, she was our mother, while life led us down different paths, the love never failed. She will always hold a place in our hearts, and we will carry the memories and lessons of life forward with us.

She is survived by her children, TraciAnn Godwin, Henry Godwin, Heather Godwin, Stephanie Godwin, and Brandon Thomas Wells; siblings, Cherry Beate Williams, Austin Michael Godwin, and Andrew Curtis Godwin; and a few grandbabies. She is also survived by lots of nieces and nephews, and other relatives and friends.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Bonnie Stevens, and Jake Stevens, and paternal grandparents, Johnny Williams and Laura Stevens.

Our family finds comfort in hoping she has now found peace that may have eluded her in life. She will be remembered with compassion, strong will, and the understanding that every life holds both struggles and meaning.

A celebration of life will be held by her children at a later date. Online condolences may be sent to www.lewisgillum.com.
