Robert Willsie Obituary
Willsie - Robert Earl
June 1, 1931-Dec. 31, 2022
Robert passed away peacefully at the Prince George Hospice House surrounded by family on Dec. 31st. Bob was born in Olds, AB and met his wife Idella in Prince George and they were married in Vanderhoof in 1954. He worked as a truck driver until retirement when he and Idella spent many years traveling in their RV. In his youth he loved to Rodeo, and this love of horses continued later in Chuckwagon Racing and throughout his life. In more recent years Bob and Idella spent many happy days camping and fishing at various lakes in the area.
Bob is survived by his beloved wife of sixty-eight years Idella, daughters Bonnie and Sandra (John) and son Dean, as well as eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his beloved son Gary Robert Willsie, granddaughter Jessica Carter and son-in-law Dennis Cherniawsky.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
