Magnolia Thompson Williams’ children, Rodney, Joey, Chuckie Williams and Betty Campbell, established a scholarship in honor of their mother and presented a Certificate of Establishment to her.
Magnolia T. Williams taught school in Dillon County for thirty years and served nineteen years as a Dillon County Magistrate.
As an educator and magistrate, she touched, inspired and molded countless lives in both the classroom and the community.
