Ronald G. Williams, 84 of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania passed away peacefully on May 3, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by the love of his family, who will forever cherish the memories of his remarkable life.

Born and raised in Bethlehem, Ron was the beloved son of the late George C. and Georgine (Achey) Williams. He was a proud graduate of Liberty High School, Class of 1958, and served his country honorably in the U.S. Army from 1959 to 1961, stationed in Augusta, Georgia.

In 1961, Ron began a long and fulfilling career with Bethlehem Steel Corporation, where he dedicated himself to the Steel Plate Group. His commitment to excellence and leadership was evident as he rose through the ranks, eventually transferring to Sparrows Point, Maryland, and later to Coatesville, Pennsylvania, following the acquisition of Lukens Steel. He retired in 2004, leaving behind a legacy of hard work and dedication.

Ron was a devoted husband to Barbara Weber Williams, with whom he celebrated 63 wonderful years of marriage on September 9, 2024. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter and cherished memories. Ron was a proud father to his son, Randall William and his wife Diane, of Athens, TN, and his daughter, Tammy Williams of Bethlehem. He was also a loving brother to Wayne and his wife, Rose of Miller Place, Long Island, and a caring brother-in-law to Donald Weber and his wife, Donna of Allentown. His legacy continues through his grandchildren, Ian Williams of Chattanooga, TN, Alexandria Williams of Emmaus, and Alexis Williams of Bethlehem, as well as numerous nieces and nephews who adored him.

A dedicated community member, Ron was an active participant in the Northwest Bethlehem Lions Club, where he served in various leadership roles, including District 14K Zone Chairman. His commitment to service and helping others was a testament to his character and values.
