On Oct. 2, 2018, at 6:45 p.m. God gained an angel when he called home Larry Devon Williamson, of Warsaw. A loving husband, father and grandfather, Larry was 76 years old.
Larry was born Dec. 12, 1941, to George and Doris Messmore Williamson in Kosciusko County. He attended Pierceton School, were he graduated in 1961. He loved farming and helped his father farm for many years.
In March 1960, he began dating his future wife, Marilyn Eddingfield. On Dec. 28, 1963, they were married. After saving their money, they bought a farm in 1969, where they milked Holstein cows, raised pigs and planted crops.
Larry also worked at Dalton Foundries for 32 years while continuing to farm. He retired from Dalton Foundries in 2011 but continued to bale hay and raise Angus cows.
Larry was a hardworking, caring, generous, lovable man who loved his family, never knew a stranger and helped anyone in need. He was an active member of Morris Chapel United Methodist Church, where he regularly made noodles to support church ministries.
Larry leaves behind his wife of 54 years, Marilyn Williamson. He is also survived by three children of whom he was very proud: Linda (husband Doug) Kroll, South Bend; Scott (wife Jenna) Williamson, Leesburg; and Kevin (wife Tabitha) Williamson, Warsaw. Larry is also survived by seven wonderful grandchildren, whom he adored: Peyton Guipe, Ella Williamson, Evan Kroll, Megan Kroll, Drew Williamson, Aiden Williamson and Mya Williamson. Additionally, he is survived by a brother, Richard Williamson, Warsaw; and a sister, Barbara Campbell, and her husband, Roy, Boise, Idaho.
