Obituary of Malinda Lee Williams

Malinda Lee Williams 51 of Gaston, South Carolina passed away on Wednesday, July, 3rd 2019 at Lexington Medical Center. Born on November, 23rd 1967 in San Diego, California, she was the daughter of the late Patricia Brannon and John Sippos. Malinda had a very hard life, and she chose to dance to the beat of her own drum. She as a young woman was a very talented singer, pianist and flute player. Somewhere along the way, She lost her way and just never recovered. She had cheated herself and her family out of the abundance of love and support that could have been given. Life can be so hard, and sometimes people just can not advance, no matter how hard they try. Some people just lose faith and stop trying. Cherish your loved ones and hold them close, addiction is real and it claims the lives of families daily not just the life of the addict. Surviving Malinda is her sister and brother-in-law Rebecca and Tony Reinhart of Florida as well as Nephew Brody Deloach. Six children to include; Daughter, Andalyn Mills of Pelion, South Carolina; Son, Ryan Williams of Shawnee, Oklahoma; Daughter, Ashly Patterson and Son-in-law Michael of Tucson, Arizona; Son, Christopher and daughter-in-law Wendy Williams of Hopkins, South Carolina; Daughter, Maria Ortiz of Monk's Corner, South Carolina; Son, Johnathan Ortiz of Pelion, South Carolina and eleven grandchildren.

“All was ended now, the hope, and the fear and the sorrow, All the aching of the heart, the restless, unsatisfied longing, All the dull, deep pain, and constant anguish of patience!” -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“My chains are gone, I've been set free My God, my Savior has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy reigns Unending love, Amazing grace The earth shall soon dissolve like snow The sun forbear to shine But God who called me here below Will be forever mine, You are forever mine.” -Chris Tomlin “Amazing Grace”
