Obituary For William "Bill" Propst

William “Bill” Propst of Elephant Butte, NM passed away peacefully in his home on April 23, 2021. Bill was born August 1944 in Ainsworth, NE to parents Henry and Gladys both of whom have been awaiting his reunion in Heaven. Other family members awaiting his arrival in Heaven include: his brother Richard; former spouse Susan; great-grand daughter, Elizabeth; and son-in-law, Jim.

Bill graduated from Springview High School and soon joined the Army. Upon his return to Nebraska, he worked for the Dept. of Roads for 47 years. Bill was a proud member of the American Legion for 53 years making countless friends along the way.

Those left to pass along stories and memories about Bill are his wife Maurene; children: Tammy, Ryan, and Kristie; step-children Colleen, Ian, and Sean; sister, Betty; brother, Elvin; and thirteen grandchildren.

While Bill’s spirit soars to be reconnected with friends and family, those of us still here on earth know he is smiling down, pleased that his earthly remains are lovingly kept in something not made in China.

Family requests instead of flowers that a small donation be made to the American Legion Post 44 of Elephant Butte, NM. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
