Dorothy “Dot” Sarver Williams, 93, of Pearisburg, VA, passed away peacefully at her daughter’s residence in Blacksburg, VA on June 30, 2024. She was born on April 12, 1931, on the family farm in Hoges Chapel, VA, to Lamar Kyle Sarver and Mary Croy Sarver.

Dot was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Edgar H. Williams, Jr., and her sisters: Effie Witowsky, Mary Ann Bunts, and her young brother Billy Sarver.

She is survived by her son, Michael H. Williams and Karen of Simpsonville, SC; son Gregory K. Williams and Elizabeth Ann of Pembroke, VA; daughter Deborah Gail Corell of Roanoke; and daughter Sharon Williams Duncan of Blacksburg, VA.

One of Dot’s proudest achievements was earning her BS degree in accounting at the age of 51. She was a dedicated member of the Giles Memorial Hospital and Carilion Community Hospital Auxiliary for over 25 years. Dot attended Riverview Baptist Church, where she cherished her Widows group Bible Study. She was an avid reader and fulfilled her passion for travel by visiting all 50 states and exploring the world. Known for her warmth and love, Dot was a cherished mother, grandmother, and great- grandmother.

The family expresses heartfelt gratitude to the community for their prayers, visits, calls, and gestures of kindness. Special thanks go to Carilion Hospice, Nurse Amanda, and Nurse Devin for their compassionate care and support.
