William “Bill” Charles Mahle, 75, died on Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013, in Stillwater. A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday at the First United Methodist Church in Stillwater with Mike Chaffin officiating.

Bill was born in Peoria, Ill., on May 10, 1937, to Richard W. and Susan Orva (Nash) Mahle. He married Judy Ann Meeks in Lane, Illinois on Oct. 19, 1963. Together they lovingly raised two children, and enjoyed almost 50 years of marriage. During his high school years, Bill worked on a variety of farms in the summers. Shortly after graduation, he joined the Navy where he served for two years before being honorably discharged in 1962. He eventually took a job with Caterpillar Tractor Co.,in East Peoria, Ill. He completed a mechanist’s apprenticeship, and moved on to working in office and management. Work led the family to the Davenport, Iowa, area for 12 years, then to Ada, and finally to Stillwater  in 1984 where Bill acquired a position with Mercruiser. Always a working man, he continued to work various jobs even after retirement. Bill was a member of the Elks Lodge, Lions Club and Freemasons. He loved woodworking and yard work, but most especially his family and friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by his wife, Judy Mahle; son, Gregory Mahle, and wife, Kelli; daughter, Angela (Mahle) Eppler, and husband, Jimmy; grandchildren, Stephanie Eppler, Matthew Eppler, Kaden Mahle, Noah Mahle, and Taylor Mahle; and brother, John Mahle.
