Bernard Newton "Bernie" Williamson, 88, of Stafford County, Va., went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, February 4, 2015.

Born March 8, 1926, in Tazewell County in southwest Virginia, Mr. Williamson was most recently a resident of Hughes Home in Fredericksburg. He was the son of the late Harvey and Anna Williamson. He was preceded in death by his wife of 45 years, Maxie Williamson.

After working as a service manager at an automobile dealership in Richlands, Bernie and his wife, Maxie, moved to Northern Virginia where he worked at Ourisman Dodge in Alexandria. Bernie left the private sector to work for the Department of the Army at Fort Belvoir as a heavy equipment repairman. Bernie retired from the Federal Government in 1987, and immediately went back to work at his church, the Stafford Church of God, where he served as the groundskeeper and maintenance man for 11 years.

In addition to the work he did during the week at the church, Bernie served faithfully as a Sunday School teacher for many years. He also served on the Finance Committee and served numerous terms on the Church & Pastors Council. Bernie was a U.S. Army veteran, having served in the Signal Corps in the 1950s.

He is survived by his daughter, Catherine Flinn, her husband, Shawn, and a grandson, Patrick Flinn, all of Stafford; his sisters, Peggy Gilbert, Frances Lester, and Vivian Beavers of southwest Virginia; numerous nieces and nephews. A step-mother, Grace Williamson and sister, Kate Alley, preceded him in death.
