Cherry Ann Williams of Green Forest, Arkansas was born December 17, 1960, in Cooper, Texas to James and Muriel (Highfield) Williams. Cherry passed away October 28, 2025, in Little Rock at the age of 64.
A talented soap maker and avid gardener, Cherry found joy in crafting beauty from the earth and sharing it with others. Her kitchen was a place of comfort and connection, always filled with the aroma of home-cooked meals and baked treats, especially during the holidays, her favorite time of year.
Despite living with a disability, she never let it define her. Cherry’s spirit was unstoppable, her hands always busy with something thoughtful, and her heart always open to those she loved. She gave generously to family and friends, not just through her cooking and crafts, but through her unwavering presence and love.
Cherry legacy lives on in the gardens she nurtured, the recipes she passed down, and the memories she created around every holiday table. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
