Lawrence Kenneth Williams
Ocean Pines

Lawrence Kenneth Williams, age 85, passed away surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, September 14, 2025, in Ocean Pines.

He was born in Eastport, Maryland, and was the son of the late Henry John Williams and Gertrude (Buser) Williams.

Larry lived a life rooted in faith, always putting God first and cherishing his church community.  His family was the joy of his heart, and he showed his love for them daily.  In his free time Larry found peace on the golf course and on the waters of Greenwood Creek, where he spent countless days crabbing.  He and his wife also shared a love of travel, spending many years exploring new places together.  Larry was known for his warm smile, kind spirit, and for a gift of conversation—he never met a stranger.  His presence brought comfort and joy to everyone who knew him, and he will be deeply missed.

He is survived by his wife, Betty (Payne) Williams; a daughter, Stephanie Walkley (David); four grandchildren, Natalie Ann Palmatary, Gabriela Victoria Williams, Logan Kole Williams, and Brandon Cross Williams, and a daughter-in-law, Lisa Williams.  In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Lawrence K. Williams, Jr., and two brothers, Henry J. “Jack” Williams and Robert G. Williams

Services were held on Friday, Sept. 19, 2025 at Taylorville Christian Church in Berlin. Interment followed at Hillcrest Memorial Garden in Annapolis.  Letters of condolence may be sent to the family via www.burbagefuneralhome.com.  Arrangements are in the care of The Burbage Funeral Home.
