Billy Voshell

In Loving Memory of Billy Voshell – 1939 -2023
Billy (Bill) Voshell, 83 of LaCenter WA, went to be with his Lord in Heaven on October
17th, 2023, after some time in failing health.
He was born in Atwood, Colorado on December 21, 1939, to Al and Iva Voshell and
was the 4th of six children. Jim Voshell, the oldest, is his only surviving sibling. Bill
attended school in the Tacoma area, then the family moved to Yakima where he
graduated from West Valley High School.
Bill and Anne Marie were married November 12, 1960. They have 3 sons; Arlen
(Donna), Glenn, who passed away in December 2009 and Leslie. Also, Brent (Kathy)
Murray and Dick Smith, who are our extended family. He has been blessed with
many grandchildren and great grandchildren enjoying hunting, fishing, and traveling
with them.

He started his career at Boeing Aircraft, then moved to LaCenter WA in 1964 and
retired from Longview Fibre papermill as a millwright in 1999.  He enjoyed his 40-
acre farm, livestock, and his kids.  Bill and Anne were blessed to be able to travel a
great deal in their retirement years.
Bill was a member of Mountain View Christian Center. He spent many hours along
with a number of others as the new church was built in the late seventies. The Royal
Rangers ministry (“boy scouts” of the church) was a major joy of his life, training, and
teaching boys. His travels took him on Mission trips to several countries to share
God’s love and see God’s wonders of the world.
A memorial service is scheduled to be held at Mountain View Christian Center at
2810 NE 259th St, Ridgefield WA 98642, on Saturday, November 11th at 12:00 pm.
In life's eventide, at twilight, at his door I'll knock and wait; by the precious blood of
Jesus, I shall enter Heaven's gate.
