With heavy hearts we announce on September 26^th, 2021, William “Bill” Alden Tillotson, was called to heaven at the age of 77 to his tough fight with cancer. William grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and had been a life- long resident of the St. Louis area. William was the son and pride and joy of Cora Tillotson (Bodenschatz) and Russell Tillotson who passed 14 days before William was born on March 7^th, 1944. William was a man of strength and wisdom who loved his family and friends immensely, he was an incredibly devoted husband to Sandra, who was his high school sweetheart. William was a smart, generous, fun-loving man that never met a stranger and could talk to anyone for hours. He was a man that loved his St. Louis Cardinals, playing cards with friends, his HMO trains, puzzles and any type of sweets were the way to his heart. He will be very missed and talked about with his family and friends for years to come.

William is preceded in death by the love of life Sandra Kaye Tillotson, and beloved daughter Tara Lee Tillotson. He is survived by his children Eric Tillotson (Rita), Traci Markert (Jimmy), his four grandchildren, Nikki Donaldson (Kenny), Austin Markert, Dylan Markert and Erica Tillotson, his great grandchild Kolten Donaldson, and his best friend his dog Kiki.
