Obituaries

Thomas Cobb Williamson, 85, of Caddo, Oklahoma, is fondly remembered as a man who could fix anything, light up a room with his jokes, and never missed a Bears game or a Cubs broadcast. A proud electrician by trade, Thomas worked at Lyon Metal for 37 years before retiring. He had a true talent for working with his hands and was always eager to lend those hands to help others.

Thomas’s greatest joy in life was being a father to his three daughters: Metchelle (Williamson) Amwoza, Charlene Williamson, and Christina Williamson.

He shared 35 loving years of marriage with his wife, Edelyn (Villadores) Williamson. Together, they raised their daughter, Metchelle. She and her husband, Aaron Amwoza, blessed Thomas with two beloved grandchildren, Ayden and Ellie, who brought him endless joy.

Thomas was also a proud and loving father to Charlene and Christina, and he deeply cherished the families they built.
Charlene’s children include Ladale Williamson (partner Amber Porter), who is a proud stepfather of Trevor and Alivia Collins, and father to Sylvia Williamson. Her daughter, Kianna Starks, is the mother of two daughters, Brooklynn and Londynn Lewis, and her son, Richard Jr. Starks, continues Thomas’s legacy.

Christina is the devoted mother of Jamal, Tyrel, Thomas, and Jermaine Williamson — all of whom reflect Thomas’s strength, humor, and generous spirit.

He was preceded in death by his father, Homer Williamson; his mother, Virginia Williamson; and his sister, Harvey Majors.

Thomas will always be remembered for his big heart, his love of football (Go Bears!), bowling nights, Cubs games, and especially the way he made people laugh. Whether he was fixing something around the house or telling a joke to brighten someone’s day, Thomas lived his life with passion, purpose, and a deep love for his family.
