William "BIll" Patrick Elledge

Upon graduating from Woodland high in Lutesville, MO, he proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force from 1974-1994 and later, worked at Tinker AFB until his retirement in 2012. He embraced his “Ozark” roots and was so proud of his backwoods heritage. His son Matt was his passion, as fishing and baseball were his dreams. An avid fisherman, he loved going to the annual “Top Three” fishing trip to Lake Texoma for the last 25 years. His “dream team”, of course was the St. Louis Cardinals, which were displayed on almost every baseball cap he ever owned.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Robert Elledge. Survivors include his loving wife, of 26 years, Janice; son, Matthew Kyle Elledge; siblings, Christopher Elledge and wife, Paula, Deborah Leadbetter; and numerous, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who will all miss him dearly.

A celebration of Bill’s life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, May 17, 2014 at the Bill Eisenhour Southeast Chapel. Full Military Honors will conclude the service and then the family invites you to a time of food and fellowship after the service.Condolences may be offered at www.eisenhourfuneral.com
