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). For more information about cremation and funeral services, Williams Funeral Home & Crematory is here to help. Visit the nearest location at 2517 Trotwood Ave Columbia, TN 38401.

Kathleen Kay Geater

Kathleen, age 63, passed away on September 29, 2026, at her home in Columbia, Tennessee, surrounded by her loving family. The daughter of the late Rayfield Wellman and Jean Alcorn Wellman, she filled her years with hard work, laughter, and a generous love for the people around her.

To know Kathleen was to know a personality that could hardly be contained in a room. Her sense of humor was over the top, her spirit was adventurous, and she knew how to turn an ordinary gathering into a good time. She was the life of the party, but she also made sure everyone else had a place in the fun. With Kathleen around, a quiet, uneventful afternoon was never a sure thing.

She approached life much the same way she approached repairs: roll up your sleeves, get in there, and figure it out. Kathleen could do just about anything she set her mind to. She didn’t mind a little dirt, a difficult job, or a challenge that might have sent someone else looking for the phone number of a professional.

Of course, life wasn’t all work. There were fish to catch, University of Kentucky football games to cheer through, and NASCAR races to watch. Kathleen loved the chance to cast a line, enjoy herself, and spend time with others. Whether the fish were biting or not, she knew how to make it a good day.

For all her humor and determination, Kathleen’s greatest gift was her heart. Caring for others came naturally to her. Through her own daycare, she looked after children; throughout her life, she looked after anyone who needed a helping hand. If someone needed something she could give, she gave it. She was the kind of woman who would offer the shirt off her back and then wonder whether there was anything else she could do.

That generosity never faded, even when her health began to make her own days harder. Kathleen still found ways to put others first, often keeping her struggles to herself. Those closest to her knew the strength it took, and they will remember the resilience that kept her caring, giving, and bringing light to the people around her.

Her love lives on through her children, Greg (Amber) Geater, Jody (Perry) Kyles, and Matt (Julia) Geater; her grandchildren, Breaunna, Kole, Alyssa, Joshua, Destinee, Perry III, Ryker, Tyler, Alexys, Jon, and Whitley; and her two great-grandchildren. Her memory will be cherished by her sister, Suzanne (Gene) Alberts, and several extended family members.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, James “Jim” Wellman, and her beloved partner of 24 years, Kay Lawson.

Kathleen leaves her family with stories that will be told again and again, the kind that bring a laugh before anyone can get to the ending. In those stories, she will still be full of life: fixing something, helping someone, finding the fun, and giving all the love she had to give.

The care of Kathleen Kay Geater has been entrusted to the caring staff of Williams Funeral Home. To share words of comfort and condolences, please visit www.williamsfh.com.

Dorothy Jean Attkisson Thomason

Dorothy Jean Attkisson Thomason, age 95, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2026, at Maury Regional Hospital. Born on June 30, 1931, in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee, Dorothy was the daughter of the late James Monroe Attkisson and Nancy Jane Chatman Attkisson.

Dorothy grew up in the Watts Hill community surrounded by a large and loving family. One of thirteen children, she learned early the importance of family, hard work, and taking care of the people she loved. Those qualities stayed with her throughout her long and beautiful life.

In 1950, Dorothy married William Cordell “Cutie” Rogers, and together they welcomed two children, Cordelia “Dee” and William Stanley Rogers. Later in life, Dorothy found love again and married Bobby Gene Thomason in 1981.

Dorothy was a hardworking woman who spent many years working at Mt. Pleasant Manufacturing and Southeastern Shirt Corporation. She took great pride in everything she did, especially when it came to her home and family. She was an immaculate housekeeper and a wonderful cook, and her home was always a place of comfort, warmth, and care. She found great satisfaction in looking after the people she loved and took pride in making sure her family was always well cared for. Her hard work, dedication, and attention to the little things were just a few of the qualities that made Dorothy so special.

Dorothy also knew how to enjoy the simple pleasures that made life sweet. She loved spending time with her seek-a-word books, tending to and enjoying her flowers, taking trips to Tunica, and making a stop at Cracker Barrel. And if Dorothy was around, you could almost bet there was a Pepsi close by. These familiar routines and favorite pastimes brought her happiness and became cherished memories for those who knew and loved her. She will be remembered not only for her strong work ethic and caring heart, but for the warmth she brought into the lives of others and the way she made people feel welcome and at home. It is these little things; the flowers she loved, the meals she prepared, the places she enjoyed going, and the everyday moments shared with family and friends that will be treasured and remembered for years to come.

Dorothy was a woman of faith and a member of the Church of Christ, attending Macedonia Church of Christ in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee. Her faith, strength, and love for her family were a quiet but lasting part of the life she lived.

She leaves behind her beloved daughter, Cordelia “Dee” Harris; grandchildren, Hansard Leo Cole Jr., Hillary McCandless, Heather Cole, and Elizabeth Skeens; and great-grandchildren, Hayden (Madison) Ward, Keyton Bradburn, Callie Hooper, Trey Caraway, and Brandon Ratliff.

She is also survived by her nieces, Nancy (Mickey) Warren, Connie (Sal) Inghilleri, and Wanda Rhodes; nephew, Rick (Beth) Clawson; sisters-in-law, Norean Attkisson and Eloise (Larry) Hicks; along with numerous great-nieces and great-nephews.

Dorothy was blessed with special friends who held a meaningful place in her life, including Jan Logan, Geoffrey Beard, Keith Baker, Linda Clark, Kalyb Wyeth, and Hansard Leo Cole Sr. Their friendship, kindness, and presence meant more to Dorothy and her family than words can express.

In addition to her parents, Dorothy was preceded in death by her husbands, William Cordell “Cutie” Rogers and Bobby Gene Thomason; her son, William Stanley Rogers; her great-grandson, Hansard “Little Man” Leo Cole III; and her son-in-law, Donnie Harris. She was also preceded in death by her sisters, Mary Poe, Hassie Clawson, Esterlene Benderman, Minnie Pierce, Lucy Sharpe, and Susie Robinson; her brothers, Edward, Eslick, Hazel, Jim, Joe, and Eldon Attkisson; and several nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to Rick and Jessica, the Mt. Pleasant First Responders, the EMTs, the Maury Regional Oncology nurses, Caris Hospice, and Sarah for the care, kindness, and compassion shown to Dorothy and her family. Their support during Dorothy’s final days will always be remembered with gratitude.

Funeral services for Dorothy will be held on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at Williams Funeral Home in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee. Visitation will begin at 10:00 a.m., with the funeral service following at 11:00 a.m with Derek Boyd officiating. Following the service, Dorothy will be placed in her final resting place at Polk Memorial Mausoleum.

Pallbearers will be Hayden Ward, Keyton Bradburn, Kalyb Wyeth, and John Michael Irwin.

Though she will be deeply missed, Dorothy leaves behind a lifetime of memories and a family who will carry her love with them. Her place in their hearts will remain forever.
