Mr. William Winders Morrison, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on September 2, 2021, at the age of 82.
Bill is survived by his wife of 62 years, Barbara; his daughters, Lori (Trent) Mills and Lisa (Barry) Herndon; granddaughter, Paige (John) DeMarzo; grandsons, Trey Palmore, Tyler Palmore and Drew Mills (fiancé Rose Schneider).

Bill worked at Eskimo Pie, the U.S. Post Office and other jobs before settling into a career with and retired from Reynolds Metals.
Bill enjoyed life including being a gentleman farmer, cutting grass and making runs to the dump. Through those tasks, he helped out neighbors and church friends.
Bill served for many years at Gwathmey Baptist Church in many capacities including as a Deacon and Sunday School teacher. He also enjoyed helping with buildings and grounds chores like grass cutting and painting.
Bill will be missed by his family, especially at our weekly Sunday lunches after church. "Pa Bill" always had some wisdom to share with his children and grandchildren and kept us laughing at the table.
