Polly Williams

August 21, 1957 — May 9, 2020

Polly Leuschner Williams, age 62, of Rowlett, passed away Saturday, May 9, 2020 at her residence. Graveside Service will be held 11:00 a.m. Friday, May 15, 2020 at Gerald Cemetery near Leroy, with Rev. Randall Hall, Rev. James Williams and Janice Kaluza officiating. LIVE STREAM will be provided. Polly will lie-in-state Thursday from 12 noon to 5:00 p.m. at Aderhold Funeral Home in West. Polly was born August 21, 1957 in Waco, the daughter of Anton "Sam" and Nelda (Weissinger) Leuschner. She attended schools in West and was a 1975 graduate of West High School. On May 19, 1980 she was united in marriage to Gerald "Ed" Williams in Waco. Polly was a member of St. Paul's United Church of Christ. She and Ed owned several businesses together including, Marble Life Inc., M. L. Distribution, Vapor Galleria, and VS Distribution. Polly loved people, always exuding life in every interaction. She was a vibrant and beautiful woman inside and out. There was no greater supportive wife any man could ever have; and I was blessed to have her. Polly found her joy in helping to care for her grandchildren and was known to them as a patient, playful, and always caring Nonna. She enjoyed gardening, crafting, boating, and kept an immaculate home for her family. There are no words that can describe how much she will be missed. Polly is also preceded in death by her parents; sisters-in-law, Rhonda Leuschner, Phyllis Leuschner and Linda Williams; brother-in-law, Douglas Peatee; and parents-in-law, Fred and Geraldine Euler Williams. Survivors include her beloved husband of 40 years, Gerald "Ed" Williams of Rowlett; a daughter, Terra Ortiz and husband Patrick of Dallas; grandchildren, Bella and Cruz Ortiz; brothers, Alton Leuschner and wife Nina, Eugene Leuschner and wife Suzanne, and Vernon Leuschner and wife Kathy; sisters, Judy Urbanovsky and husband Dennis and Sandra Leuschner and Jimmy; sisters-in-law, Leda Hall and husband Randall and June Peatee; brothers-in-law, James Williams and wife Jody and Earl Williams; her dogs, Oreo, Izzy and Bolt; her cat, Jack; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Fuzzy Friends and Waco Humane Society.
