George Williams, Jr., transitioned from this life on June 13, 2020, at 2:22 a.m., in his home in Gifford, South Carolina, at the age of seventy-eight, following a brief battle with cancer.
George was born in Ridgeland, South Carolina, the son of the late Mrs. Zulie Pinckney Bostick and Mr. George Bostick, Sr., November 10, 1941. At an early age, he joined Goodwill Baptist Church, where he was a dedicated member serving until his demise. He received his education in the public schools of Hampton County and was a graduate of Estill Training School, Estill, South Carolina.
Upon graduating, he was employed as a Professional Pipeline Worker in Charleston, South Carolina. George decided to seek employment closer to home after working faithfully in Charleston. He was blessed to become an employee of the Town of Hampton, South Carolina. In 1979, his career abruptly came to an end after sustaining severe injuries that left him incapacitated. However, he was determined to become independent and was successful in his endeavors. George had a green thumb and spent endless hours tending to his gardening, landscaping and farming. He was very industrious and extremely passionate for creating woodwork with the gift God blessed him to endure. George was a strong-minded, loving, caring man of many skills.

answering the call of anyone in need.George married Prudence Mitchell with a loving son, Barry S. Mitchell, on October 31, 1965, and their union was blessed with one boy and two girls.
