William Thomas (Bill) Cole departed this life on July 4th, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his family. He was born on September 25th, 1936, in Texas to Wilma Drake and Thomas Cole. Bill was a loving husband, devoted father, and proud grandfather.
He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Jana Fae (Glenn) Cole; his daughters, Beverly Miller and her husband, William, and Rebecca "Becky" Spearman; his grandchildren, Chris and Nick Miller, and Tiffany and Whitney Spearman; as well as three great-grandsons, Christian, Dante, and Allen; and one sister Dixie Cole.
Bill lived out his lifelong dream of being a dairy farmer. He found great joy working with his cows and spending time with family and friends. He especially loved attending gospel singings and was known for his cheerful nature and playful sense of humor. A faithful member of his church, Bill taught Sunday school, sang in the choir, and cared deeply about sharing his faith. He wanted to be sure his family and friends knew Jesus so they could meet again in heaven.
For those ready to meet their Savior — this is not a goodbye, but a heartfelt "See you later!"
