Congratulations...
Lee Graduates from U of W
Space Station.
 
Samantha and her family would 
like to thank all the teachers, scholarship 
providers  and  the  community  of  
Vernonia for their support.
In Memory of...
Joyce Margaret Fabre Williams
James
 
Samantha Lee,  a 2009 graduate 
of  Vernonia  High  School  has  received 
her  degree  in  Mechanical  Engineering 
from  the  University  of  Washington.  
She  has  completed  internships  at  Solar 
World  in  Hillsboro  and  for  the  Federal 
Government  in Virginia.    She  currently 
is  working  in  Virginia  as  a  civilian  for 
the Army.
 
Samantha’s group senior project 
was  accepted  by  NASA.    The  group 
traveled  to  the  Johnson  Space  Center 
in  Houston  where  they  conducted  a 
microgravity experiment in zero gravity.  
The  team  performed  the  experiment 
aboard  a  microgravity  aircraft  which 
produced  periods  of  weightlessness  for 
up to 25 seconds at a time by executing a 
series of approximately 30 roller coaster-
like parabolas over the Gulf of Mexico.  
During  the  free  falls,  the  students 
gathered data in the unique environment 
that  mimics  space.   The  result  is  15-25 
seconds  of  zero  gravity  just  like  you 
would  experience  on  the  International 
 
Joyce  Margaret 
Fabre  Williams  James  of 
Vernonia  passed  away 
in  her  sleep  Monday, 
July    28,    2014.    She  is 
survived by one son Robert 
Dewey  Williams  Jr.,  his 
wife Sheryl, one grandson 
Robert  Ray  Williams 
and  his  wife  Jenny,  one 
g r e a t - g r a n d d a u g h t e r 
Sky  Elizabeth  Williams 
and  one  great-grandson 
Lucas  Stone  Williams  all  of  Vernonia, 
two    sisters,  Kitty  Zagaryuka  of 
Oklahoma City, OK and Imie McGinnis 
of  Mobile, AL.    She  was  proceeded  in 
death by her son Bruce Marvin Williams 
in October of last year. 
 
Joyce  was  born  in  Mobile,  AL 
September  30,  1929  the  9th  daughter 
of  Frank  Sylvester  Fabre  and  Pearl  
Margaret    (Carrio)    Fabre.  She  was 
married  in  Mobile  to  Robert  Dewey 
Williams  Sr,  on September 4, 1949 and 
they had two sons Dewey and Bruce.
 
Bob  passed  away  in  1987  and 
Joyce  remarried  in  St.  Elmo,  AL  to 
Hubert James, Sr. on October 13, 1990.  
They made their home in Star, MS and 
when  Hubert  passed  away  in  1995  she 
returned  to Alabama  and  the  home  she 
had helped build with Bob. 
 
  After having lived 76 years in 
the deep south she moved along with her 
son Bruce to Vernonia in 2005.   Joyce 
really  enjoyed  the  changing  of  the 
seasons here.   
 
    Joyce  became  an  LPN  in 
1960  and  worked  most 
of  her  nursing  career 
as  a  private  duty  nurse. 
She  not  only  nursed  for 
a  living  but  continued  to 
help wherever there was a 
need both with family and 
friends up until her death.
  Joyce  was  an  avid 
student of the bible; knew 
the  bible  well  and  loved 
to  share  God’s  love  with 
everyone  she  met.    Joyce 
was  a  long  time  member 
of  the    Seventh  Day  Adventist  Church 
and  over  the  years  she  had  served  as 
teacher  (children  and  adult),  pathfinder 
leader,  community  services,  head 
deaconess  and  at  the  time  of  her  death 
was serving as an Elder in the Vernonia 
Seventh  Day  Adventist  Church.    She 
was  a  passionate  Christian  who  loved 
God and loved to give Bible studies and 
visit and help  the sick.
 
She  was  an  accomplished 
seamstress  and  a  fabulous  cook.    She 
loved gardening, not only  vegetables but 
flowers    as  well  and  she  loved  feeding 
the birds.
 
Joyce  was  always  involved  in 
whatever  community  she  lived  in  and 
when  she  moved  to  Vernonia  she  soon 
began  volunteering  at  Vernonia  Cares 
Food  Bank  and  was  so  happy  to  have 
the  time  to  do  so.    She  was  serving  on 
their  Board  of  Directors  at  the  time  of 
her passing.
 
A  celebration  of  life  will  be 
held  Saturday, August  23,  2014  at  4:00 
PM in  the Commons area of  Vernonia 
School.
 
In  lieu  of  flowers  the  family 
requests  donations  be  made  to  the 
Seventh  Day  Adventist  Building  Fund.  
Send  to:    SDA  Church  Building  Fund,
