In addition to his parents, William was preceded in death by his first wife, Peggy McFalls Galloway; sisters, Louise Galloway Peeler, Virginia Galloway Pitts, and Annie Mae Galloway Ehrnfeldt; and a brother, John Pinkney Galloway, Jr.

The memorial service will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, August 23, 2025, at Oak Hill United Methodist Church with Rev. Adam Love officiating.
