Send FlowersWilliam Wolcott Obituary
Age 71, of Sterling Heights, passed away on August 27, 2025.
Bill owned Exact Abrasives, and he retired from abrasive sales six years ago. In retirement, he poured his energy into his greatest passions-golfing, wintering in Florida with Carol, and spending quality time with his kids and grandkids. Bill will be remembered for his quick wit and willingness to help (even if it meant always taking out the trash). Bill made those around him feel cared for and at ease.
He is survived by his loving wife, Carol; his mother, Joan Turgeon; his children Jessica (John) Pizzo and Ryan (Bethany) Wolcott; and his beloved grandchildren Sal, Sarah, Leo, Caleb, and Abby. He is also survived by his siblings -- Steve (Brenda), Terri, Linda, and Christine.
A memorial service will be held at Rockpointe Community Church Friday, September 12, 2025 at 10 AM, service to start at 11AM, with a luncheon at The Gazebo Banquet Center immediately to follow.
