Bill Houghton, age 80, of Harrison, passed from this life on Thursday, Sept. 10 (2020) at Hospice of the Hills Hospice House in Harrison. He was born in Zack, to a close and loving family.
Bill was a man of great faith, who truly loved the Lord. He was an ordained minister for over 40 years and was deeply involved in church. Bill was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. His family meant the world to him and he loved them beyond measure.
He loved and treasured the life he and his beloved wife Wanda built together. He had many friends who enjoyed his sharp wit and reminiscing about farming and days gone by. He followed current events daily and enjoyed discussing them. Bill always tried to be honest, kind, understanding, giving, grateful and usually had a smile. Bill had a servant’s heart and faith that helped encourage people when they were down.
He touched so many lives and will be greatly missed.
