William H. Schuppert

Born in New Albany in 1931, Bill was the cherished son of Henry and Ruth Schuppert. A natural athlete in his youth, he was an avid basketball player and proudly graduated with honors from New Albany High School. Following his education, Bill embarked on a

dedicated 41-year career with Sears & Roebuck, ultimately retiring as an area manager. He also proudly served his country in the United States Army Reserves for 15 years. A man of profound faith and strong character, Bill was a lifelong pillar of Wesley Chapel

United Methodist Church. As the church’s longest-living member—having belonged for 81 years—his faith was a guiding light throughout his life, inspiring him to continue teaching Sunday school well into his 80’s. Above all else, Bill was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He shared a beautiful, enduring love with his wife of 61 years, Cindy, before her passing. Together, they built a wonderful family and a legacy of love that lives on through their three daughters, Susan Bush (late husband, Steve Bush), Karen Wilson (husband, Rick Wilson), and Hollie Federman (husband, Brad Federman). He was a proud grandfather to Peggy Pierce, Susan Shepherd, Katie Wilson, Rachel Estep, Aris Federman, Elijah Federman, and a doting great-grandfather to fourteen.

Outside of his devotion to family and church, Bill found joy in the simple pleasures of life, including woodworking, playing golf, cheering on his favorite sports teams, and spending quality time with those he loved. Nothing mattered more to him than his faith

and his family, and he was always the first to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Bill was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Henry and Ruth Schuppert; his sister, Norma Troncin-Sutton; his loving wife, Cynthia Schuppert; and his son-in-law, Steve Bush.

A chapel service, officiated by Brad Federman, will be held at Kraft-Graceland Memorial Park at the Chapel of Memories at 11:00 am on Thursday, November 12, 2026. In lieu of flowers, he requested that a donation be made to St. Jude Children's Hospital.
