Homer E Williamson

Homer Edwin Williamson January 26, 1921 – March 22, 2025 "Love is now the stardust of yesterday, the music of the years gone by." We are sad to announce the passing of Homer Edwin Williamson, who died March 22, 2025, at the age of 104 in Ashdown, Arkansas. Born on January 26, 1921, in Horatio, Arkansas, Homer was a man of hard work, passion, and perseverance. From a young age, he developed a gift for “digging in the dirt” and mastering heavy equipment operation—a skill that led to a distinguished career in construction. As a co-owner of a successful construction company, he played a key role in large-scale projects across Arkansas, Oklahoma, Georgia, and Texas. Among his proudest achievements were his contributions to the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Reunion Tower in Dallas, Texas. Beyond his work, Homer found immense joy in family, gardening, and good conversation and most of all music. He never missed an opportunity to gather with loved ones, tell a story, or share a song. Homer was preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Marjorie Jennings Williamson; his son, Jim Williamson; his son-in-law, Gerald Stripling; his parents, Elbert and Susie Williamson; his brothers, Herman Williamson and Winfred Williamson; and his second wife, Ophelia Howry Williamson. He is survived by his daughter, Juanita Stripling; daughter-in-law, Katrina Williamson; grandchildren, Heather Stevenson, Adam Stripling, and Tracy Madrid; great-grandchildren, Colton Stevenson, Hayley Stevenson, Quinten Stripling, Aspen Madrid, and April Madrid; and great-great-grandson, Leo Stripling. He also leaves behind nieces and nephews, and their families. A visitation will be held on Sunday, March 30, 2025, from 1:30 to 2:00 p.m., followed by a Celebration of Homer’s Life at First United Methodist Church in Ashdown, Arkansas. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses, neighbors, and friends who supported him throughout his journey. They also want to express special thanks to Little River Nursing Home and Hospice of Texarkana for their unwavering kindness and care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to First United Methodist Church and Central Baptist Church in Ashdown, Arkansas
