Mr. Williamson, 86, Bolivar, died at Citizens Memorial Hospital, Bolivar, following a brief illness. He was born in St. Louis, the son of Melvin H. and Lillian Brown Williamson. He married Anna Lee Walker in October 1943. They were blessed with 67 1/2 of life together.
Melvin attended Faith Bible Academy in Camdenton before moving to Bolivar to attend Southwest Baptist College. He graduated from college in 1957. He was called to the ministry while living in St. Louis and devoted his life to that calling. He pastored churches in Lebanon, Camdenton, Bolivar, Dadeville and El Dorado. He retired from the ministry in 1990 because of health issues.
Melvin was also well known for painting beautiful homes, businesses, and he loved refinishing old furniture. He also loved "playing" with his chainsaw and would spend hours cutting wood, stacking it and brushing it off. He also enjoyed trains — real and model ones. But for those who knew him best, we know he was most passionate about just talking in general and could do so with anyone at any time on any subject and with a great deal of knowledge.
Preceding Melvin in death were his daughter, Sharon Appleby Adams; a son, Paul Williamson; a sister, Mae Rohne; a brother Earl Williamson; and his parents, Melvin H. and Lillian Williamson.
Melvin is survived by his wife, Anna Lee of the home — the one person in life that he loved, respected, depended on and admired above all others. He has two sons, Jack, of Marionville and Steve, of Bolivar; and one daughter, Debra Lemmon of Bolivar. He has 13 grandchildren, James Williamson, Jacqueline Rowe, Cindy Clark, Shelly Ellison, Paul Williamson, Richard Williamson, Leia Dodd, Jennifer Collins, Brittany Blair, Eric Lemmon, Lori Francis, Justin Lemmon, Melissa Gambriel, Michael Williamson and Aubrey Tindle. He also has 22 great-grandchildren, Julie and James Williamson, Ashley and Robert Rowe, Jenna, Tyler and Caley Brown, Jodie and Sam Phillips, Derrick, David and Dawn Williamson, Rose, Nya and Champ Dodd, Kai, Lillith and Avalon Collins, Nathan, Joshua and Benjamin Francis, Kaley and Mariah Stock and Peyton Tindle.
