Williams Funeral Home & Crematory

Williams Funeral Home & Crematory Williams Funeral Home is family operated since 1935. We also help plan ahead for funeral expenses. Pet cremations and pet services are available on request.

We have an on-property crematory serving families that have chosen cremation services or traditional funeral arrangements. Since 1935, Williams Funeral Home & Crematory has provided custom funeral packages designed to celebrate life and serve families. This family-operated business is more than an essential funeral home. All funeral directors are also Certified Celebrants; they work with each family to provide personalized consulting and guidance to ensure that the event is both meaningful and respectful. Funeral packages cover every detail required for a quality event. The caring staff take pride in the family-focused approach used when designing funeral services. Funeral packages can always be customized to include visitations, graveside services, military honors, caskets, and more. Families can choose from traditional funeral offerings, or design a less-formal event such as a life celebration or memorial. Williams Funeral Home & Crematory has owned and operated an on-site crematory for over 20 years. Unlike most other funeral homes that advertise cremation services and subcontract to other providers, the team at Williams Funeral Home & Crematory assures that their own licensed and certified employees will handle all details of the cremation. Direct cremation is available for families who want to simplify the services. Or, cremation can be combined with a memorial service or celebration of life. The original funeral home was established in 1935 on Seventh Street in Columbia. In 2012, a tragic fire destroyed much of the building. But the bomb-shelter style construction in the basement protected precious items, including paperwork and files. The funeral home has been rebuilt, and the team is now proud to offer two locations for convenience. Williams Funeral Home & Crematory provides services for families throughout Maury County, including Columbia, Mt. Pleasant, Spring Hill, Lawrenceburg, and Pulaski. The funeral home holds memberships with several industry organizations, including the International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association (ICCFA), The Southern Cemetery Cremation and Funeral Association (SCCFA), and the Cemetery Association of Tennessee (CAT).

Glen Stone

Glen Stone, age 76, passed away peacefully in his home on January 18, 2026. He was born on August 14, 1949, in Pulaski, Tennessee, to Irene Williams Stone Dalton and the late Paul Thomas Stone.

Glen was a natural storyteller who truly never met a stranger. His outgoing spirit and kind heart made everyone feel welcome, and he had a way of turning everyday moments into memorable stories. Above all else, Glen loved his family deeply—his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were the center of his world.

He cherished traveling with his beloved wife, Shirley, and together they made countless treasured memories exploring the world. Their adventures included trips to Alaska, Amsterdam, Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland, the mountains, and the beach. Glen especially loved trains, with fond memories of riding the rails in Alaska. His favorite trip of all was a dinner train ride he and Shirley enjoyed together in late 2025—a memory he spoke of often and held close to his heart.

Glen was a faithful member of West 7th Church of Christ, where he found fellowship and community.

He is survived by his loving wife, Shirley Stone; his children, Dawn (Lee) Smalling, Tracy Bolton, Charlie (Anissa) Carlisle, and Karrie Banks; his mother, Irene Stone Dalton; his siblings, Linda Stone Chapman and Larry (Nancy) Stone; seven grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.

He is reunited in Heaven with his beloved son, Jamie Glen Stone, and his father, Paul Thomas Stone, and nephew: Thomas Stone.

Glen’s legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable stories will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Josephine found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved watching her favorite show, Gunsmoke, and had a special fondness for Kansas City Chiefs Football. She also enjoyed watching red birds, often pausing to admire them and the peace they brought her. These quiet moments reflected her gentle nature and appreciation for the beauty in everyday life.

She shared a wonderful life with her devoted husband, Larry Wayne Henson, and together they built a home filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support for one another.

Josephine’s legacy lives on through her husband, Larry Wayne Henson; her daughter, Susan Renee Henson (Robby) McKennon; her granddaughters, Hannah Josephine (Randy) Brooks and Alexis Renee (Justis) Bishop; her treasured great-grandsons, Everett Clifton Brooks and Mason Wyatt Brooks; and her siblings, Bill (Vivian) Johnson, Sarah (Claude) Luckett, and Sue (David) Clayton.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings, Norma Jean Johnson Henson and Robert “Bubba” Johnson.

Dean proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict, stationed in Pusan, Korea, and received an Honorable Discharge. He was a 21-year member of American Legion Post 19 and remained deeply proud of his military service.

Kenneth Walters

Kenneth Ross Walters, age 62, passed away on January 8, 2026. He was born on November 6, 1963, in Columbia, Tennessee, to the late Joe Ross Walters and Maudie Cotton Walters.

Kenneth was married to Darlene Porter Walters, the love of his life, with whom he shared a lifetime of devotion, laughter, and partnership.

When Kenneth and Darlene were young, he worked as a cashier for many years in Mount Pleasant. Darlene would keep him company and hide out in the back while Kenneth helped the customers. But his life took an unexpected and meaningful turn when he accepted what he thought would be a temporary job in pest control. That job became his passion. In 2005, Kenneth founded Reliable Termite and Pest Control, a business that was truly his pride and joy—his “baby.” Known throughout Maury County as “The Bug Man,” Kenneth proudly served the community for many years, working side by side with his son and dedicated employees, treating customers like family.

Kenneth was a die-hard Alabama fan and loved cheering on the Crimson Tide. He had a gift for humor and lived to make people laugh. If Kenneth picked on you, it meant he liked you—and if he gave you a nickname, you knew you were special to him. His playful teasing and quick wit were trademarks of who he was. He was a strong person, Kenneth fought for 7 years through difficult health battles. He always maintained a positive spirit and smile despite the pain he was in.

Above all, Kenneth’s greatest joy was his children and, especially, his grandchildren, who were the light of his life. Kenneth will be remembered for his hardworking spirit, his laughter, his love for people, and the legacy he built through his family and community. His presence will be deeply missed, but his stories, jokes, and nicknames will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Kenneth is survived by his wife: Darlene Walters; children: Kimberly Walters, Kenneth Joe “Ross” Walters, and Bill (Becky) Walters; grandchildren: Logan Anthony Shields, Andrew Shields, Kenneth “Winston” Walters, and Kash Walters; siblings: Glenda (Howard) Garland, and Billy Walters; sisters-in-law: Connie Porter Bassham, Tammy Porter, and Kaye Walters; special nieces: Nicole (Don) McClain and Vicky Marshall; cousin: Brittany Webb and his beloved k-9 companions: Bama, Mia, and Luna, and numerous nieces and nephews. Kenneth is preceded in death by his brother Danny Walters, and special cousin Chris Cotton.

Visitation will be held on Monday, January 12, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Williams Funeral Home in Mount Pleasant, Tennessee. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. in the chapel of Williams Funeral Home in Mount Pleasant, with Brother Lyndall Propst officiating. Burial will follow at The Arbors of Polk Memorial Gardens.

Pallbearers will be: Staff members of Reliable Termite and Pest Control, Andrew Gray, T.C. Webster, Robert Bell, and Corey Skinner also, Stacey Roberts, Eric Johnson, Tyler Roberts, and Matt Dale.

Honorary Pallbearers will be: Jason Cummins, Tim Brashears, Dennis Waldrop, Dan Shields, Former employees of Reliable Termite and Pest Control and Walker White Pest Control.

Special thank you to Dr. Dinaram at St. Thomas West, the caregivers and nurses at Fresenius Clinic, St. Thomas West, and Maury Regional Medical Center.
