Alice Cochran Williams
August 10, 1941- October 29, 2021
On Friday, October 29, 2021, Alice Cochran Williams went to sleep in the Lord. Alice was born on August 10, 1941 to Joseph Warren Cochran and Ruth Rebecca Cochran. Alice was a life-long resident of Calvert County. She graduated from Calvert High School in June of 1959 and one week later married the love of her life, Gerald David Williams. From their union three children were born – David, Daryl, and Dana.
Alice re-entered the workforce once all three children were in school. She worked for the Calvert County Office of Aging and then Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (Baltimore Gas and Electric) from where she retired from her position as a managerial secretary.
Alice favorite pastimes included playing cards, boating, camping, playing word games, watching the Baltimore Orioles, and eating crabs. Our family spent most of our Friday nights at Abner’s eating crabs with friends. Her face lit up whenever she saw her grandchildren. She was definitely one to spoil them.
She is survived by her children David Williams, Daryl Williams (Rene Boyd), and Dana Plater (Roland), brothers Harry Cochran (Barbara) and Karl Anderson (Jeanne), daughter-in-law Christina “Tina” McMahon, grandchildren Ryan Plater, Travis Williams, Brooke Plater, Courtney Williams, Allison Plater, Danielle Williams, Kaitlyn Plater, and Matthew Plater, sisters-in-law Alberta Williams and Kay Quade, and many cousins, nephews, and nieces.
She was preceded in death by her husband Gerald (PopPop), parents Joseph Cochran and Ruth Beverly, brother Robert “Bob” Cochran, Sr., sisters Barbara Jean Lusby, Helen Tennyson, and Edna Mawyer, and niece Gail Ann Colace.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Alice’s name can be made to Hospice of the Chesapeake at the link and address below.

While I never did get to meet Ms. Alice, I did get to hear lovely stories of her as told through her daughter Dana. I was going to emphasize that your mother will live on in the memories you have of her, but one look at the photo above and I can say that she will live on every time Dana smiles! May your memories be happy and full of love.

Aunt Alice, you will always be remembered as a wonderful aunt. You always treated me in the most wonderful way and made sure I had family news when I visited. You welcomed everyone to your home with a warm smile of pleasure, offering wonderful hospitality. I will always remember the family dinners you served. You and Uncle Gerald helped me through a difficult period in my life. Thank you for that, Aunt Alice. You did so well for yourself and your family. You are truly a wonderful aunt.

We grew up together, meaning the children in Hunting Hills (and Joy and I across the street). We were always running around together and being at one house or another. I am very thankful for the Moms and Dads that we all had and shared. I am thinking of my friends that I grew up with and of their families at this time. Mrs. Williams is at rest now and does not have to suffer. Blessings to you all.
