April 6, 2026 | 12 comments

Bill McMullin, age 94, passed away peacefully on April 1, 2026. He was born on July 2, 1931, to Claira and Buford McMullin.

Bill graduated from Logan High School in 1949 and proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. At the age of 13, following the passing of his mother, he was lovingly raised by Vilas (“Chino”) and Avis Zimmer.

Bill dedicated 25 years of his career to CenturyTel. His strong work ethic began early, with his first job at the Flor Shop, where he installed carpet and tile.

On June 10, 1967, Bill married the love of his life, Nancy Neumeister. Together they built a life rooted in family, dedication, and community. Bill was a lifetime member of American Legion Post 52 in La Crosse. He also had a love and flair for ballroom dancing, a passion that brought him joy and was admired by all who watched him glide across the dance floor.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Buford and Claira McMullin; his brother, Ronald McMullin; Vilas (“Chino”) and Avis Zimmer; nephews Scott and Barry McMullin; and his in-laws, Frank and Edith Neumeister, Lois Kremer, and Robert Neumeister.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Nancy; his nieces and nephews Kent (Chris) McMullin, Julie McMullin, Robert and Steve Kremer, Jim, Linda, Scott, and Ken Neumeister; and his great- nieces and nephews Veronica Yates, Kari Roza, Addam, Nate, Grant, and Alex McMullin along with many other family and friends.

Services will be held Saturday, April 11, 2026, at North Presbyterian Church, 1327 N Salem Road, La Crosse, Reverend Scott Skogen Officiating. Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. with visitation starting at 10:00 a.m. Military honors will be rendered after the service as well as a luncheon.

Bill’s final resting place will be at Oak Grove Mausoleum. Bill will be remembered for his service to his country, his dedication to his work, and the warmth and joy he shared with his family and friends.

Memorials can be made to North Presbyterian Church or the Logan High School Alumni Association.

Coulee Region Cremation Group is assisting the family.

    I will remember how welcoming he was to my sisters and me when we would visit them with my mom. He always asked about school, golf and life with genuine interest and made us feel at home there. We will all remember him lovingly with smiles in our hearts and strive to be as kind, patient and classy as he was.

    Your 59 plus years of marriage Nancy to Bill, is a testament to the vows you made to each other. You two were there for each other in sickness and health, to support and love each other for always. Bill will welcome you with open arms when it is your time to join him and dance with you again in Heaven.

    Dear Nancy,
    I am so sorry. I enjoyed Bill’s company at Erik and Seda’s wedding. He was having such a good time. I am sorry I wasn’t able to attend the funeral due to illness. I told Sal I’m inviting myself to your next ladies luncheon.
    Sending a hug!
