Marsha Williams was born in Richlands, North Carolina. At a very young age, Marsha saw one of her favorite uncles in a uniform. Immediately, she knew she wanted to wear one when she grew up. Marsha graduated from Richlands High School in 1992 and joined the Army Reserves. She has two amazing sons, DJ and Derrick. 

Marsha started her career in law enforcement in 1995 at the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office. She served as a Detention Officer there until 1997, then transferred to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office. The transfer allowed her to continue her education. In 2004, Marsha graduated from Pfeiffer University with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. Working full time, Marsha enrolled in Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) full-time at Gaston College in 2008. She graduated President of her class and was immediately promoted to deputy sheriff with Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office. In 2009 Deputy Williams attended Rowan-Cabarrus Community College and acquired her Criminal Justice General Instructor Certification. She still currently maintains Department of Justice and Sheriff’s Standards instructor certifications.  

Wanting to continue her education, Deputy Williams enrolled in Methodist University and graduated with honors with a master’s in justice administration in 2017. Her career continued to bloom with the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office. At the rank of Captain, Marsha Williams decided to take an early retirement in 2021. The early retirement was short-lived as she was invited to join the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office. Deputy Williams is the Civil Executions coordinator for the Cabarrus County Sheriff.  

The North Carolina Law Enforcement Women’s Association (NCLEWA) promotes professionalism, training and education. Deputy Sergeant Williams has been an avid member of NCLEWA for 13 years. She is currently the Executive Director and Treasurer of NCLEWA. Marsha is also pursuing her PhD in Organizational Management (Leadership) at Carolina University. In addition to leading NCLEWA, Marsha spends her spare time hanging out with her sons and enjoys line-dancing and ballroom dancing.
