Doretta received Christ at an early age and was instructed and guided  by him in her lifelong journey. She joined Faith Temple House of Prayer under the leadership of her son Bishop Robert Williams. She maintained her membership after his passing under the leadership of her grandson Elder Willie D. Williams, Jr. She said, "Jesus taught me everything I know; how to treat my husband, cook, raise my children, how to clean my house and to love my enemies." She loved to sing and praise God often in hymns when at home or in the church. One of her favorite songs was when you hear of my home going don't worry about me and how well do I remember how Jesus took me in; she practiced living the life she sang about, she was also a prayer warrior, and her children would often hear her singing and praying.

She worked in church most of her life as treasurer, cook, was good with poems and giving them to all the children in church, she did whatever her hands could find to do and was mother of the church until she became ill and wasn't able to walk well and attend church but she kept singing her hymns and praying at home and often asked about the church services, kept her faith in the Lord until her passing.

She was our mother and anchor, our dearest friend whom we look to see again someday in the resurrection of the just.
