Tina R. (Fowler) Williams, a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, passed away peacefully on December 11, 2025, in Elkhart, IN, at the age of 67. Born in Plymouth, IN, on January 13, 1958, to the late Ernie and Thelma (Miller) Stiles, Tina grew to be a pillar of strength and joy within her community.
Tina's early life in Plymouth sculpted a hardworking and resilient individual. She was a proud graduate of Plymouth High School’s class of 1976, embodying the spirit and determination that would carry her through life's challenges and achievements. In 2004, she married her soulmate, Jimmie Williams, in a beautiful ceremony at the Phi Delta Kappa in Plymouth. Their hearts intertwined, and they nurtured a bond that would thrive on love, respect, and shared adventures.
Professionally, Tina dedicated over 25 years of service as a supervisor at Aker Plastics, where she was respected for her leadership and work ethic. After her time at Aker Plastics, she transitioned to working alongside Mark Aker at Aero-Tech as a mold repair technician, showcasing her adaptability and technical skills. Tina's colleagues will remember her as a mentor who led by example and encouraged growth.
Tina's zest for life was evident through her varied interests. She had a fervent passion for attending auctions and yard sales, finding treasures and moments of excitement in each bid. Her adventurous spirit was reflected in her love for motorcycle rides, and she fondly recalled the moment she won a 2000 Harley Davidson Fatboy in a raffle. A tale of serendipity that lives on as her son continues to cherish and ride the prized motorcycle to this day.
Her hands were rarely idle, as she enjoyed the art of crochet and the competitiveness of card games. She shared these passions with her family, whom she loved to spend time with, creating countless memories that they will treasure forever. Her grandchildren, Remy and Ayla, were her pride and joy, and she embraced every moment spent teaching them life's little pleasures.
Tina was also a devoted animal lover, especially to her adored red Boston terrier, Ziva. Ziva was not just a pet but a confidant and constant source of happiness in her life.
Her presence will be profoundly missed by her beloved family including her loyal husband, Jimmie; her devoted son, Phillip (Mika) Bergman; her caring sisters, Bobbie Jo (Mike) Milliser, and Debbie (Chuck) Druszynski; and her treasured grandchildren, among other friends and relatives who had the privilege to know her.
A time to visit with the family will be on Saturday, December 20th, 2025 from 11 am to 12 pm. A service will begin at 12 noon with pastor Michelle Leonard officiating. All being held at Palmer Funeral Home – Plymouth Chapel, 300 W. Madison St. Plymouth, IN 46563. Procession will immediately follow to New Oak Hill Cemetery.
