Timothy L. Williams, age 71 of Lima, left this world peacefully to be with his Lord and Savior, at 2:37 a.m., Wednesday, April 27, 2022. He was born April 16, 1951 in Lima, Ohio to Luther Williams, who preceded him in passing and Isabel Sterrett Williams, who survives in Cridersville. On August 8, 1992 he was united in marriage to Sherrill A. Satterfield, who survives in Lima.

Tim had previously worked at Ford Motor Company and had retired from Satellite Connections. He graduated in 1969 from Waynesfield Goshen High School and joined the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He attended Rousculp Church of Christ, was an amateur magician loving to preform tricks for children and playing the guitar. He treasured time spent out in nature and all animals, feeding, and watching the squirrels, and playing with his four-legged buddy, Jesse James, Jr. He will be remembered for his love of life and ability to make others feel comfortable, never meeting a stranger, and the ability to talk with anyone. One on Tim’s favorite quotes was “I might need that someday.”
