State Senator 83 Dies Of Heart Disease
State Sen. Marshall B. Williams, longtime leader and the Senate's longest serving member, died at 83 from heart disease at Providence Hospital after chest pains. A WWII Navy veteran, he entered politics in 1946, rose to Senate president pro tempore in 1969, and mentored amid a shifting South Carolina political landscape. Williams was known for shared power and resisted autocratic leadership, leaving a legacy of rural Democratic dominance ending as politics moved Republican.
