William Henry Fewell, age 73, of Lake View, IA, passed away on Tuesday, February 14, 2017, at Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, IA. William was born February 21, 1943, in Leesburg, VA, the son of Benjamin Sylvester and Eva Catherine (Gray) Fewell.
On August 23, 1984, Billy was united in marriage to Peggy Behrens in Harlan, IA. He worked as a plumber until he retired in 2006. Billy enjoyed fishing, watching old westerns, gardening, traveling and cooking. His cat, Persia always held a special place in his heart.
Billy was a member of the Lake View/Sac City Friendship Club and took part in many trips with them. He loved working in his yard almost as much as he loved helping others with their yard work. Billy was a kind man with a big heart and a contagious smile. He and Peggy enjoyed hosting holiday dinner parties for their elderly neighbors in their home.
Left to cherish his memory are his children: William and Kandi Fewell of VA, Kimberly Fawley of VA, Katherine Sines of VA; grandchildren: Brandan Sines of VA, Jessica and Joshua Rodriguez of NE, Lindsey and Lauren Fawley of VA, Kevin Fewell of TX, and Amber Collis of VA; great-grandchild Eileen Rodriguez of NE; brother Bobby (Alice) Fewell of VA; brother-in-law Lyle Behrens of IA; sister-in-law Betty Jacobs of NE; and many extended family members and friends.
