William Dale Wilson

William Dale Wilson was born on August 20, 1952, in Lakewood, Ohio, the son of the late Ollie L. and A. Elizabeth (Brown) Wilson. He passed away peacefully on March 10, 2026, at the age of 73. A longtime resident of Pine Township, Bill spent his childhood in Parma, Ohio, and West Des Moines, Iowa, where he graduated from Valley High School. It was there that he met his future wife, the late Jamilee (Nelson). He went on to graduate from the University of Iowa, where he was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity.

After living and working across the Midwest and the East Coast, Bill retired from Wells Fargo following a long and dedicated career that culminated in the role of regional manager. In retirement, he worked as office manager at Professional Pools, where he formed many lasting friendships. Bill will be remembered for his strong work ethic, his wide range of skills, and his constant willingness to help others. He enjoyed staying busy and learning new things, whether baking homemade bread, tackling projects around the house, or lending a hand to family and friends.

An outdoorsman at heart, Bill loved hunting and fishing, particularly the camaraderie of sitting around the camp stove sharing stories. He took pride in making his own ammunition and brought laughter to those around him with his distinctive wit and mischievous spirit.

He is survived by his loving wife, Bobbi, and her children, Larkin and granddaughter Ella; Taylor Misplay (Sara) and granddaughters Alyssa and Rachel; his sister Carol Williamson (Rick); nephews Scott Williamson (Alyssa) and Brett Williamson (Shannon); great-nephew Jack Williamson; and son-in-law Mike Marro.
