Marjorie Bourne Williams, Clearwater Resident, Dies at 97

Clearwater mourns Marjorie “Margie” Bourne Williams, who died peacefully Oct. 7, 2026. She was 97.

Williams, a beloved Clearwater resident, volunteered for decades at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and was a familiar face at downtown events. She shared a deep partnership with her late husband, Fred Williams.

Born in 1929, Williams spent her formative years in the area. She witnessed nearly a century of change in Clearwater.

Her family will announce service and memorial arrangements later. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a local charity of choice in Williams’ name.
