Mr. William “Bill” Donaldson, beloved friend of many in Picture Butte, passed away at the Piyami Place in Picture Butte on October 7, 2023 at the age of 74 years. Bill has built a loving relationship with many in his Church and in the town of Picture Butte in the last 4-1/2 years.

Bill was predeceased by his mother Anne and father William, in Toronto, Ontario.

Bill is known for his love of God and his cheerful attitude. Bill had many stories of his adventures working across Canada, all showing how his faith in God has sustained him through it all. Bill has had a life most of us cannot imagine, and yet he was one of the most cheerful and content with his situation.

Bill has made an impression on many in Picture Butte with his infectious happiness. Bill was blunt and honest and still came across as caring for others. He is very thankful for the love he has received from his Church Family, and all those who have helped him with his health care these last years.

Thank you to everyone at the Piyami Manor, Lodge, and Place, where Bill called home, who have cared for and learned from this gentle soul. Bill will be missed by those who have come to know him.

A Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 am, Wednesday, October 18, 2023 at the CORNERSTONE E-FREE CHURCH, 440 Crescent Ave, Picture Butte.

In lieu of flowers please consider an act of kindness to someone less fortunate.
