William “Bill” Henry Threlkeld passed away October 19, 2022, at Mountain Home, Arkansas. He was born June 6, 1938, in Koshkonong, Missouri to Henry and Clara (Hampton) Threlkeld. September 14, 1969, Bill married the love of his life, Barbara (Paynter) in Kansas City, Missouri. Bill and Barbara were married for 53 years and during this union they brought into this world two children, Theresa and Billy.
Bill was a truck driver for over 30 years and retired from Yellow Freight in 2008, but he had been a farmer all of his life. He started farming at a very young age and never stopped. He enjoyed farming with his wife and daughter very much. He loved spending time with his family and friends. There was never a dull moment around Bill and once you got to talking to Bill you couldn’t get away. Everyone loved Bill and enjoyed being around him. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
Bill is survived by his loving wife Barbara, one daughter Theresa, husband Steve Wiggs; one son Billy; three grandchildren Tyler (Kyndal) Wiggs, Dylan Wiggs, and Lynsey Wiggs; one great- grandson Dayten Wiggs; along with numerous other family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one infant sister; one sister Shirley Roberts and three brothers Jay, Bob, and Harry Threlkeld.
Bill will be remembered for his smile that was always on his face and for the way he loved to talk to everyone. He might be gone but he will never be forgotten.

Our neighborhood has lost a good man. I don’t think Bill ever met a stranger. He was never anything but kind to me and my family. I know Jody thought the world of him. He often reminded me of when I was in high school and part of his hay crew. Precious memories of a precious husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. I ask God to wrap His arms around his precious wife, daughter and her family, son, other family and the many many friends, comforting as only He can.

This guy will sure be missed. He always seemed happy to see someone he knew no matter where it was. A kind smile, and a friendly word. Our community lost a good man, that will not be forgotten!

Bill was my pal, as was Jay. Barbara, I am so sorry. I was out of town OR YOU KNOW I would have been there. Truly heartbroken for your loss and I didn’t even know he was I’ll, so thinking it was sudden event that caused his passing. Oh how he liked to tease! From the “last” Koshkonong Postmaster and your friend. Donna
