As a nurse, she demonstrated her lifelong passion for caring for others. She was deeply committed to her profession, serving as founder and president of a chapter of the Association of Operating Room Nurses (AORN) and volunteering with the Wedowee Hospital Auxiliary.

Jeffrey Paul Dennis, 44, of Tallassee, passed away on July 29, 2026. Born on November 22, 1981, Jeffrey was a lifelong member of the Tallassee community loving everything Tallassee football.

He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, June Norrell Peoples, and his father, Paul Jackson "Jackie" Dennis, Jr.

Jeffrey is survived by his loving sister, Paulette Meadows (Allen); his nieces, Brooke Watson (Dustin) and Paige Jones (Colby); his cherished great-niece and great-nephews, Luke, Stetson, Lylah Kate, and Beau; his uncle, Mike Dennis (LaDonna); and many cousins and friends who will forever treasure his memory.

Jeffrey was employed as a Marketing Applications Specialist at Neptune in Tallassee, where he dedicated many years of service. He was respected by his coworkers for his knowledge, dedication, and willingness to help others.

To know Jeffrey was to know someone with a heart as big as his smile. He loved deeply and wholeheartedly, never missing an opportunity to show up for the people he cared about. Whether it was cheering on his nieces and their children at every game, program, or special event, spending time with family, or simply being there when someone needed him, Jeffrey could always be counted on. His presence brought comfort, laughter, and unwavering support to those around him.

Jeffrey enjoyed spending time fishing, cheering on the Alabama Crimson Tide and his beloved Tallassee Tigers, and making memories with family and friends. He never met a stranger and had a remarkable gift for making people laugh. His quick wit, gentle spirit, and genuine kindness left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. Above all, Jeffrey loved the Lord. His faith guided the way he lived and the way he loved others. He loved with grace, compassion, and generosity. He was first to lend a helping hand, the friend everyone could depend on, and the family member who never let life's important moments pass by unnoticed. His love was constant, selfless, and abundant.

Though his passing leaves an immeasurable void, those who loved Jeffrey find peace in knowing he is now in the presence of his Savior. His legacy of faith, love, laughter, and loyalty will continue to live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

First Baptist Church Tallassee will be hosting a memorial service Sunday, August 2, 2026 with visitation starting at 2:00 pm and service starting at 3:00 pm.

Richard (Ricky) Leon Williams

June 11, 1952 - July 23, 2026

There are some people whose lives leave an imprint so deep that generations will continue to feel their love long after they are gone. Ricky Williams was one of those people. Ricky Williams, 74, of Eclectic, Alabama, entered the presence of his Savior on Thursday, July 23, 2026. He was born June 11, 1952.

The family will receive visitors beginning at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, with a memorial service to follow at 12:00 PM. Both will be held at Good Hope Baptist Church, 1766 South Fleahop Road, Eclectic, Alabama 36024. A brief graveside service will be held at Good Hope Baptist Church Cemetery.

While our hearts are broken beyond words, we rejoice knowing that his faith has become sight. Today he is walking the streets of gold, completely healed, reunited with his beloved parents and brother, and hearing the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

His faith wasn't something he kept to himself-it was the foundation of his life. He loved the Lord with his whole heart and never hesitated to tell others about the hope he had in Christ. We find great comfort in imagining the moment when his eyes opened in eternity, and he saw the face of Jesus.

He loved fiercely and faithfully. He was a devoted husband, a father who never stopped showing up, and a Papa whose grandchildren were the light of his life. There wasn't an event he didn't want to attend, a milestone he didn't celebrate, or a story he didn't proudly tell. He bragged about his family every chance he got, and they always knew they were deeply loved.

To his daughters, he wasn't just a father-he was their hero, protector, and safe place. He was always there. Yet, his heart and kindness reached far beyond his own family. Many people lovingly called him "Dad" or "Papa" because that's simply who he was. He welcomed people in, encouraged them, prayed with them, laughed with them, and loved them like family. If you knew him, you loved him. His life reflected the love of Christ.

His absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, but his legacy will live on in every life he touched, every lesson he taught, every prayer he prayed, and every act of kindness he quietly gave.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 52 years, Debbie Williams, with whom he shared a lifetime of love and unwavering devotion; daughters, Kelley (Rod) Wallace, Michelle (Casey) Smith, Tiffani (Shawn) O'Banion; his eight cherished grandchildren, who knew no greater fan than their Papa, Kayson (Cam) Freeman, Cole Smith, Katie Wallace, Chance Smith, Chelsey O'Banion, Carlee Smith, Caitlyn O'Banion, and Teel O'Banion; brother Stevie Williams and sister Linda (James) Hall. He is preceded in death by his parents, Mack and Bobbie Williams, and brother, Mickey Wayne Williams.

Ricky graduated from Elmore County High School and went to work for Alabama Power Company, retiring after 35 years of service. Ricky was a faithful member of Good Hope Baptist Church. He enjoyed woodworking, fishing, taking care of his countless farm animals, and spending time with his family every chance he got.

Though we grieve deeply, we do not grieve without hope. Because of Jesus Christ, we know this goodbye is not forever. One glorious day, faith will become sight for us as well, and we will be reunited with the man who pointed us to Christ by the way he lived every single day.

Until then, we will honor him by loving God, loving people, and living the kind of life he modeled so well.

"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man." - Proverbs 3:3-4

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the General Fund at Good Hope Baptist Church in memory of Ricky. Donations Link: https://www.goodhopebc.org/giving
