Ruth Helen "Fruitie" Williams

March 6, 1944 - May 12, 2022

Ruth Helen “Fruitie” (LeCates) Williams passed away on May 12, 2022, surrounded by loved ones at her home in Chestertown, MD. She was 78 years old. She was born on March 6, 1944, the daughter of Vickers and Edith LeCates. She was born and raised in Chestertown and graduated from Chestertown High School in 1962. She met her high school sweetheart, the late Harry “Billy” Williams, while she was working at the Tally Ho as a waitress. They were married in 1962 and had two children, Stepheni and Randy. She enjoyed collecting sea glass, birdwatching, dancing, playing her weekly cards games with the ladies, and drinking cocktails. She was always joking and making her family laugh with her catch phrases, like “Yeah man!” She adored her family and would dance the babies to sleep. She was preceded in death by her husband, Harry “Billy” Williams; her son, Harry “Randy” Williams, Jr.; brother, Vickers Stephen Lecates, Jr.; and sister, Edith Virginia Kimble. She is survived by her daughter, Stepheni Ricket (Ron); sister, Kay Lecates Ginn; grandchildren: Amie Walla, Daniel Horne, Krista Williams, Haley Williams Stoops, Theodore Ford, Tyler Ford, and Makenzie Williams; her great-grandchildren: Nathan Horne, Tyde Bell-Ford, Grant Stoops, Avery Cate Stoops, Paisley Harvey, and RJ Stoops; as well as her dog and best friend, Fischer. Services will be held privately.
