Bill Fillgrove Obituary
A proud steel mill worker and Air Force Veteran, Bill exemplified the virtues of hard work and perseverance throughout his years. Bill had a passion for the great outdoors which was evident in his love for hunting and camping. He enjoyed spending his free time golfing and was an active member of his church.
Above all, his dedication to his family was unwavering; he was a constant presence at his children's and grandchildren's milestones, always there to lend support and share a laugh. Bill not only impacted those around him through his presence and actions, but also through his love of listening to loved ones and telling stories whenever given the chance.
Bill leaves behind his devoted spouse, Shirley Fillgrove, his daughters, Deb Urban and Meghan Schnur (Bryan). He is also remembered by his grandchildren; Makenzie Fahnestock (Jake), Bryton Schnur, Marah Schnur, Joelle Buchter (Hector), and Reed Urban.
Bill was preceded in death by his doting parents, Dwight and Lois Fillgrove.
The family will honor Bill's memory with a celebration of life service that will take place at a later date, details to be announced.
In honoring Bill's wishes, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. James Lutheran Church located at 4320 Shepherdstown Pike, Shenandoah Junction, West Virginia 25442.
