Gregory Steve Williams, age 72, of Rome, Georgia, passed away on Thursday, January 1, 2026. Steve was born in Rome, Georgia, on August 17, 1953, son of the late Charles Raymond Williams and Margaret Mardean “Dean” Brackett Williams. He was also preceded in death by his brother, James Wesley Williams, and his stepmother, Katie Hall Williams.
Steve was a graduate of the Coosa High School class of 1971 and studied at Shorter College before joining the United States Army in 1972, where he served 11 years on active duty and 18 years in the Reserve Forces. He continued a life of service to others as a Registered Nurse at Floyd Medical Center, working night shift in the Oncology unit, ICU, and ER for 30 years. Steve was a member of the Baptist faith and worked closely with his wife as a member of “DIGS”, an organization that aids adults with disabilities. He enjoyed playing golf with his brothers, cousins, and nephews, traveling the world with his wife and family, but most of all loved being a grandfather and great-grandfather. Steve loved spending time with his family and supper club with friends.
