William "Bill" Joseph Shadwick

Born on April 20, 1956, he was the youngest son of the late Joe and Mary Shadwick and was preceded in death by his brother, Mike Shadwick.

He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Ruth Ann Shadwick, with whom he shared 55 years of love and partnership. He is also survived by his daughters, Lindsay Shadwick and Lacy Williams (Tony), and his grandchildren, Noah Williams, Joey Williams, Colby Williams, and Andy Williams.

Bill was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, educator, and community servant. He spent 30 years in the Chattanooga City and Hamilton County School Systems as a teacher and principal and later served 7 years as an outreach educator with the Creative Discovery Museum. He also served his church and community faithfully as a Deacon at Stuart Heights Baptist Church, a Sunday School teacher at First Baptist Church of Soddy-Daisy, a TWRA Certified Hunter Safety Instructor, and a volunteer with local historical efforts.

He will be remembered for his kindness, humor, integrity, and deep love for his family, especially by his grandchildren, who knew him affectionately as “Grumps.”

A private graveside service will be held for the family with a Celebration of Life to follow in the coming weeks.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Soddy-Daisy and Montlake Historical Association:
