Shelly Lynne Williams died Thursday, October 26, 2023 at her residence in Lawton, Oklahoma at the age of 59.  She was born July 6, 1964 in Lawton, Oklahoma to Clinton and Mary Catherine (Larrance) Herring.  Shelly grew up in Lawton and was a graduate of Eisenhower High School where she was a state champion doubles tennis player.  She married Joseph "Randy" Williams on September 5, 1981 in Lawton, Oklahoma.  He preceded her in death on February 13, 1990.

Shelly worked for Lawton Public Schools having worked in various positions at MacArthur High School, Carriage Hills Elementary School and the Shoemaker Center.  She also helped her father at the Clinton Herring Lincoln Mercury dealership.  Earning her Bachelor of Nursing degree from Oklahoma Baptist University in 2006 she became a registered nurse.

The nursing profession was where Shelly found her true calling.

She then transitioned out of clinical nursing when she began working for Blue Cross Blue Shield in the Austin and Dallas area and she continued working for them after returning to her hometown. Throughout her entire nursing career, Shelly touched the lives of countless individuals.

She was a member of Cameron Baptist Church.  She enjoyed tailgating with her friends for OU football games, going to the lake, boating and golfing but nothing gave her more pleasure than being with her grandchildren.
