Patricia Ann Ellison Williams

There’s a plan far greater than you know,

There is a landscape broader than the one you see

There is a haven where storm-tossed souls may go,

You call it death-this seeming endless sleep;

We call it birth-the soul at last set it free

Farewell, your work is done. Now may peace rest with thee.

Peacefully, Tuesday, February 23rd at 2:57 PM, an angel of mercy came to Sentara Princess Anne Hospital, to relieve our beloved one, Patricia Anne Ellison Williams of her illness. “Peace Be Still” was whispered and a gentle hand drew her near. God saw that Pat’s work had been done and her race had been run, so He carried her to His home in Heaven.

 “Pat” was born on October 7, 1951, in Dade County, Miami, Florida. She was the daughter of Dorothy Mae Ellison Fullwood and Earl Clinton Kirkland and was reared by her mother and stepfather, James Fullwood. “Patsy” was a 1969 graduate of Miami Northwestern Senior High School and Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry, New York.

Ford (Tracy) of Yonkers, New York; four daughters, Sherie T. Pruitt, Tanisha S. Pruitt, Dorothy M. Pruitt and Precious R. Pruitt, all of Virginia Beach Virginia; one step-son, Hakeem S.
