William "Bill" Henry Stovall



William “Bill” Henry Stovall, age 87 of Winchester, passed away on Sunday, March 23, 2025. He was born in Huntland on March 4, 1938, to the late Isaac Clarence and Daisy Avis (Taylor) Stovall. He was one of thirteen children, growing up with three brothers and nine sisters. From an early age, William started working at Harvey Ashley Sawmill. He then traveled to Harvey, Illinois to work at a factory in the Blue Island Community. Moving back home, he worked for Huntland Amoco Station and Mr. Grover Pogue’s family store. Next, William began a job for Marty Electric in Huntsville, Alabama, where he loved to stop and pick up Terry’s Pizza. In 1971, he started a long career at Wilton Corporation which lasted twenty-eight years. When Wilton closed, William finished his working years as a delivery man for Advanced Machine working alongside his son, and where he was proud of driving over a million miles and “always finding the cheapest gas around.” William enjoyed hunting and fishing with his buddies at the cabin. On Friday and Saturday nights, he loved to cut a rug at The Silverado in Hazel Green, Alabama. As an avid sports fan, he cheered loudly for the Atlanta Braves and the University of Tennessee Vols. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings, Stella Hodges, Velma Brewer, Pauline Moore, Isaac “Junior” Stovall, Elizabeth Stovall, Dean Mann, and James Stovall. William is survived by his loving children, Tina (Thomas) Leiner, and Todd (Holly) Stovall. He was very proud of his grandchildren, Josh (Sarah) Gardner, Craig Gardner, Zachary Stovall, and Natalie Stovall. William was blessed with three great-grandchildren, Addyson Gardner, Grady Gardner, and Reese Pepper. He is also survived by siblings, Zula Wiseman, Faye Miller, Pat (Roy) Cheney, Norman Stovall, and Shirley Harbin; and a host of nieces and nephews. One last quote from William to all he loved, “If you need me, give me a call.” Visitation will be from 11am-1pm on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at Moore-Cortner Funeral Home. Funeral Services will follow at 1:00 pm in the Chapel of Moore-Cortner Funeral Home. Interment will be at Walnut Grove Cemetery.
