Ann L. Williams Schwartz
Our loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend was called home to be with her Lord and Savior on March 12, 2011. Ann was born on Aug. 31, 1922, in Crandall to Clarence and Pauline Fowler Williams. After completing high school, she attended North Texas Agricultural College where she met, and later married, Bobby Ingle Schwartz, son of Johnny and Juanita Ingle Schwartz of Palmer. After marrying they moved to College Station where Bob entered Texas A&M to study petroleum engineering. Bob's education was interrupted by World War II and during his absence Ann lived with her parents in Arlington, where her son Mike was born. After the war they returned to A&M and he graduated in 1946 with a job with Shell Oil Company. Their daughter Patti was born in Fort Worth.Ann was a loving and dedicated Christian wife, mother and homemaker, and she and Bob were active in the many churches as they were transferred by Shell to different locations over the years. Bob passed away in 1979 at age 56, leaving Ann as a relatively young widow. Through great spiritual strength and determination, she soon adapted to living alone and thrived, much to the credit of her love for family and her church activity. She moved from Houston to Tyler in 1982 and immediately became a very active and committed member of the Green Acres Baptist Church. She especially enjoyed outreach to the elderly and for many years was a dedicated and faithful visitor to the sick and infirm at hospitals, retirement and nursing homes. She made many good friends in her church, especially in her Sunday school class, and she loved singing and traveling with the senior's choir. In recent years, Ann was a resident in Tyler at Atria Willow Park, and was at Briarcliff when she passed away.Ann is survived by two children, Patricia Ann Baker and husband Ken of Dallas and Mike Schwartz and wife Ginny of Mount Pleasant, S.C.; and her brother and two sisters, George Williams and Sue Raney, both of Tyler, and Pat Keyte of Arlington. She is also survived by five grandchildren, Kyle Baker and wife Missy of Dallas, Cody Baker and wife Emily, also of Dallas, Kate Baker Lane and husband Ryan of Houston, Allison Schwartz Bradley and husband Rod of Mount Pleasant, S.C., and Emily Schwartz Daniels and husband Coby also of Mount Pleasant, S.C. She had eight great-grandchildren.
