December 19, 1944 ~ June 3, 2026 (age 81)
Charlotte Anne (Sistrunk) Willis, age 81, of Society Hill, Alabama, passed away at East Alabama Medical Center on June 3rd, 2026, surrounded by her loved ones.
She was born on December 19th, 1944 to Kelly and Doris (Yarbrough) Sistrunk in Chambers County- Langdale, Alabama.
Charlotte grew up in Society Hill, Alabama. She attended and graduated from Tuskegee High School.
She worked alongside her family for 30+ years with Sistrunk Brothers Store and Lumber Company and Forest Gardens Bark Plant, where she served a vital role in office operations.
Charlotte’s family was the cornerstone of her life. She was a devoted wife and is survived by her husband of 62 years, William Berry Willis. She is survived by her son Farrell Willis (Sandy) and two grandchildren, Ashton Cosby (Cade) and Taylor Mullins (Nic). She has 4 great-grandchildren, Emi Kate Cosby and Millie, McCoy and Maizie Mullins.
She is also survived by her sister, Kathy Jo Sistrunk Forehand (Brooks) and nephews, Chase Jackson (Shelby) and Kyle Jackson (Jennifer), along with great nieces and nephews, Chelsea Jackson, Kaylee and Cooper Jackson.
She is preceded in death by her parents Kelly and Annie Doris Sistrunk.
Charlotte found her greatest joy in time spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she loved beyond measure. Her love, patience, and warmth created memories that will be carried in their hearts forever. She also loved the simple pleasures of life- spending peaceful afternoons outdoors, gently swinging and taking in the fresh air, or relaxing indoors while watching her favorite cooking shows. These moments brought her comfort and happiness, and they reflect the calm, loving spirit she shared with all who knew her.
Per the family’s request, there will be no service at this time. A private graveside memorial will be held at a later date at Society Hill Church Cemetery.
