Marshall William “Bill” Voll, 73, climbed the golden stairway to heaven to meet his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Sunday, November 8, 2020. For several years he had been unable to walk and do other things he loved to do, due to I.B.M. (Inclusive Body Myositis). When Covid 19 struck, he could not fight any longer.
Bill was born February 19, 1947 in Barron, Wisconsin to Clarence Marshall (Red) Voll and Katherine (Laning) Voll. The family moved to Salina when Bill was only 3 and lived here the rest of his life.
Bill graduated from Salina Central High school in 1966 and worked at the Salina Country Club during his school years. He joined the Navy after graduation where he served for 4 years active duty as a chief assistant to the head officer because he did not have had criminal record. Sadly, he was never on a ship, but he said it was “Ok” because he would have probably gotten seasick the whole time.
Upon returning from active duty, Bill served 2 years in the Naval Reserves and attended Salina Vo-Tech to learn printing and to become a machinist.
After working for Kancen Printing, he began working at Federal Mogul, then Great Plains Manufacturing where he worked twenty-four years before his illness forced him to take early retirement.
Bill was a 25+ year member of the Salina Masonic Lodge 60, Isis Shrine and the Oriental Band until it dissolved.
On January 1, 2001 at 1:00am, Bill married Patricia Joan (Pat) Vignery. No chance to ever forget the anniversary!
As a longtime member of Salina First Baptist Church, Bill served in several offices. He was on the Board of Trustees, an usher, Men’s Out-Of-Touch group, Sunday School assistant teacher, Bible Alive and Awana helper and had 15 years perfect attendance.
Survivors include his wife, Patricia, brother; James Frances (Sue), sister; Sherrie Atwood, step grandchildren; Jason Terkildsen, step-granddaughter; Janiece Fousek, step-great-grandsons; Gabriel Fousek, Trenton Nordell and Brandon Trow.
Proceded in death by his parents, brother-in-law; Doyle Atwood, nephew; Kevin Voll, stepdaughter; and son-in-law; JoBeth and Duane Terkildsen.
