In Loving Memory of William (Bill) Alan Marcotte

December 25, 1950 - October 28, 2023

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of a beloved father and husband, William (Bill) Alan Marcotte, who departed this world on October 28, 2023, at the age of 72. He was surrounded by his family as he peacefully embraced eternity.

He lived a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to his family and friends. He was a loving husband, a dedicated father, a cherished grandfather, and a loyal friend. He helped his community by finding countless families a beautiful home. Many of those families became friends of our family. And many of those families spread the word to their family and friends, “Go see Bill Marcotte for a new home. He will take care of you.” Throughout his 72 years, he touched the lives of many with his gentle spirit, thoughtfulness, eagerness to learn and teach, and wisdom.

A devoted family man, Bill is survived by his loving wife, Betty Marcotte, with whom he shared a deep and enduring love. Together, they created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and love that was open to all. He is preceded in death by his son, Steven Marcotte. He is survived by three children: Elizabeth, Jonathan, and Billy. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren: Vanessa, Michael, Dryden, and Stetson.

Bill had a way of making everyone around him feel loved and cherished, leaving a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him.

As we mourn the loss of Bill, we find solace in the countless memories we shared with him, the lessons he imparted, and the love he gave so freely. His spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him, and his legacy will continue to inspire and guide us.

A celebration of Bill's life will be held on November 20th at 10 am at First Baptist Church.

Though our hearts are heavy with grief, we find comfort in knowing that Bill now rests in eternal peace. He will be forever missed but never forgotten.

May his soul find serenity and may his memory be a blessing to us all.
