Ann Cecilia (Roden) Williams died on November 14, 2014. She was one of five sisters and the last of her generation.
She was born at home on Hibernian Street on "Irish Hill" in Pratt City and educated just up the street at the old Saint Catherine's and then Saint Paul's High School.
She and her sisters were raised during the Great Depression, loved going to Barons' games at Rickwood, used streetcars for transportation, and generally belonged to the acknowledged greatest generation of Americans to date.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Sterling Williams, and her parents, sisters, and nephews, Greg Douglas and Steve Stella. She is survived by four children, ten grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews. A lifelong devout Catholic, she fell in love with a Methodist and could not be married in the Church at that time.
However, she arranged to be married in the rectory next door to Saint Catherine's in a Catholic ceremony.
Her husband, Sterling, later became Catholic and, according to Ann, was even more devout than she.
Her parents were William and Ruth Roden. William was born in Scotland and came to the U.S. as a child.
He worked in the mines near Pratt City as a child, then was able to land a job with the Southern Railway as a fireman. He worked his way up to engineer, and at picnics at Woodward Park in West End, he hung out the window of the cab of the train waving his engineer's hat at the family as he headed south to Meridian. Almost every Sunday, Bill and Ruth hosted the entire clan (numbering 20 or so) at the house on Hibernian. Ann and Sterling continued this tradition for their children and grandchildren at their home.
