Obituary For Mrs. Sandra Marquita Williams Hairston
Sister Sandra Marquita Williams Hairston, daughter of Elzy Williams and the late Charles Barnes Williams, was born May 3, 1961, in Tallahassee, Florida. The Lord called Sandra home on Thursday, March 14, 2024.
Sandra received grade school education from St. Mary’s Catholic School in Bridgeport, Connecticut and to follow was a proud graduate of FAMU High Class of 1979. She earned vocational education in the medical coding and billing field, equipping herself with valuable skills for the healthcare industry.
Sandra accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and personal Savior at an early age and was baptized by Reverend Moses G. Miles at Philadelphia PB Church in Tallahassee, FL. She was a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and a follower of Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church, imparting the spiritual wisdom of God in the lives of those around her. Prior to her return to Tallahassee, Sandra was a former member of Mount Aery Baptist Church in Bridgeport, CT.
Sandra found freedom to express herself through her vast musical palette, fashion, writing, and love of photography. Sandra was affectionally named as, “The Family Photographer” as she always captured beautiful milestones and gatherings of her loved ones but also became a part of the memories she immortalized. Her warmth and affection were evident in every photograph, her keen eye for detail capturing the essence of each moment with unparalleled grace.
