Dora was born to William Reed Sr and Alberta Hill on September 21, 1940.  She was the third of their seven children. Dora started school, but had to stop attending in order to help support her family. In 1957, she met Dock Williams and they got married in 1958 in Roxton, Texas. They were married for 1 year and then welcomed their first of  seven children. She spent the early years of her marriage in Lorenzo, Texas but then moved to Post, Texas in 1982. This is where she spent the rest of her life until she went to be with the Lord on October 18, 2023. She was 83 years old.

She always worked hard to get the things that she wanted in life.  Most of her career, she was a cook, and she really enjoyed cooking for everyone!  She not only loved her own kids, but she loved her grandkids and enjoyed spending time with them.  So much so, that her grandkids would consider her mom.

If you knew her, you would know that she LOVED watching western movies (shoot "em ups as she called them).  She also LOVED her soap operas. If you went to visit her, you would need to be ready to watch either of the two.

Preceding Dora in death were her parents (William and Alberta Reed).  Her siblings Viola Humphrey , Dorothy Sue Griffin, Eddie Mae Thomas, Harold Reed, W. M. Reed, and Deloise Reed. Her son Johnny Ray Williams. Her daughter Amy Roberts.

Dora leaves to cherish her siblings Dorothy Pringler and  Bill Reed of Amarillo, TX, Annie Lee Bennett of Oklahoma City, OK, and Charles Reed of Lubbock, TX. Her children Patricia Greathouse of Lubbock, TX (Donnie Greathouse), Brenda Williams of Fort Stockton, TX, Trina Hengen (Jerry Hengen), Gary Don of Lubbock, Tx and Dianna Williams of Dallas, TX (Thomas Williams). Ten grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, four great great grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
