Jerry Quay Williams, 68

February 16, 1956 – February 1, 2025

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”  1 Corinthians 13:4-7.  Jerry Quay Williams, 68, a lifelong resident of New Albany, passed away Saturday, February 1, 2025, at his residence, following a brief illness.
