Melvin O. Williamson passed peacefully with family by his side Nov. 16, 2018, at age 83, after a brief fight with cancer. He was preceded in death by his wife, Bonnie and brother Laurence of Port Orchard. Loving father of Mark, Bruce and Melanie, and grandfather to Scott and Anthony.

Mel will be fondly remembered by family and friends as a loving father, a passionate 45 year member of the Lions Club, a vintage car aficionado and proud U.S. Navy veteran. He loved the outdoors, clam digging, chopping wood and making a difference. His warm sense of humor and undying commitment to help others daily will be deeply missed.

A celebration of life service will be held Dec. 29, 2018, from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. at The Pavilion in Shelton.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the NW Lions Foundation.
