Rosemary Williams

Rosemary Williams, born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away on January 19, 2026. She will be remembered for her spunky spirit, sweet heart, and the quiet care she showed to everyone around her.

Rosemary loved dogs, crocheting, and relaxing with her favorite Hallmark movies. She found joy in caring for others and especially loved hosting holiday meals in her house, where family always felt welcome. She cherished time spent with her family, particularly her son, Brian; her husband and partner of over 40 years, Ellis “JR”; and her daughter-in-law, Christina, whom she was happy to welcome into her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jesse and Rebecca Williams, and her brother, Dan.

Rosemary is survived by her husband, Ellis Bryant Jr.; her son, Brian Williams; her daughter-in-law, Christina Cardenas; her brother, John Williams, and his wife, Vicky Williams; her sister-in-law, Paula Williams; and eight nieces and nephews.

Rosemary’s legacy of love and quiet care will live on in the many lives she touched.
