Sept. 29, 1938-April 15, 2024
William (Bill) Ellingson, born Sept. 29, 1938, in Crookston, Minnesota, died Monday, April 15, 2024 at the age of 85. Bill leaves behind his wife of 40 years, Pam Ellingson, three adult children Joy Koblosh, Jay Ellingson and Joel Ellingson, as well as an adult step-daughter Brandi Beard. Bill also leaves three living sisters: Mona Sullivan, Diane Hendrickson and Claire Derosier. He was preceded in death by his mother Blanche LeBlanc Ellingson, father Alton Ellingson and sisters Rosita Barber and Bette Talbert.
In addition to Minnesota, Bill has lived in California, Nevada and finally Utah, where he was delivered into God’s hands with his family around his bedside.
Bill was always a die-hard Vikings fan, and a true highlight of his life was when his Minnesota family took him to the then-new Vikings stadium while he was in Minnesota celebrating his 80th birthday. The memory of that day always put a sparkle in his eyes.
There will be a small memorial service on Friday May 3, at 1 p.m. at Pine Valley Mortuary 566 North Mall Drive, St. George, Utah.
