Willie Maxwell, 69, of Folkston, Ga., passed away on July 22, 2021 at Hospice of the Golden Isles in Brunswick, Ga. following a lengthy illness. He was born on January 14, 1952 to the late, Tommy Lee and Louise E. Dasher-Maxwell, Sr. in Charlton County, Ga. (Traders Hill). He was educated in Mary Bethune School and entered into the Job Corps in Utah. He was a former employee of Union Camp, Gilman Paper Mill and he also worked in the Timber Industry. He was loved by many and was always helpful to others. Will had a genuine love for his children and grandchildren. The one thing that everyone agreed to was that he was known for his love of dancing.
