William L. Stillson, known by most as “Bill,” passed away at 10:25 p.m. on Friday, June 30th in Miller’s Merry Manor, Warsaw. He was 83 at the time of his passing.
Born in Nappanee on August 9, 1933, he was the son of Leo and Florence (Beigh) Stillson.
Bill attended Nappanee area schools and served briefly in the United States Air Force before being honorably discharged.
On December 14, 1952, Bill was married to the late Mary Ellen Boggs in Packerton, Indiana. Together they shared 63 years together and started a family which includes their two daughters, Susan and Sandy.
Bill retired in 1998 as Supervisor of Transportation for Peabody ABC in Winona Lake. He had dedicated more than 45 years of service there before his retirement.
Bill was also a past-master of Pierceton Masonic Lodge #377 F. & A.M. and a member of Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church. He enjoyed fishing and woodworking. In earlier years, when he was more able, he had enjoyed golfing and camping. He always enjoyed a piece of pie as it was his favorite food. He claimed to enjoy all types but, some might argue that he most enjoyed the Sugar Cream pies for which his wife was known. Bill enjoyed life and was known to be jokester.
Those left to appreciate good memories of Bill include his two daughters: Susan (Randy) Shepherd and Sandy Stillson, both of Warsaw; two grandsons: Andy (Stephanie) Shepherd and Jeff (Jenny) Shepherd, both of Warsaw; five great-grandchildren and his sister, Arlene (Tom) Dettbrenner, of Bremen, Indiana.
In addition to his loving wife, Mary Ellen Stillson, who passed May 9, 2016, Bill is preceded in death by two siblings: brother, Robert Stillson and sister, Trilba Ayres.
Friends may gather at Titus Funeral Home for visitation and to share memories on Thursday, July 6th beginning at 10:00 a.m. A masonic service will take place at 11:45 with his funeral service commencing at Noon. Burial will follow in Warsaw’s Oakwood Cemetery.
The family has asked that gifts in Bill’s memory be directed to Kosciusko County 4-H Horse and Pony, 4914 S. 400E, Warsaw, Indiana 46580.
The staff of Titus Funeral Home considers it a privilege to care for the family and friends of William L. Stillson.
