William Bill Dorsey, Springdale, AR Community Mourns a Beloved Friend

William Bill Dorsey, a cherished member of the Springdale, AR community, passed away peacefully on the evening of Monday, October 14th. He was surrounded by his family during his final moments at the Circle of Life hospice, just as he would have wanted. The news of his passing has left his loved ones and friends deeply saddened.

Bill, a retired electrician, was known for his kindness, generosity, and ability to bring people together. He battled small cell lung cancer for more than a decade after his initial diagnosis in 2012, despite the odds predicting only months left to live. Over the years, he underwent rigorous treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation, which managed to shrink his cancer significantly. However, the toll on his body was immense. In his later years, after suffering a hip fracture and dealing with multiple health challenges, Bill’s condition deteriorated, culminating in a peaceful end surrounded by his family.

A fundraiser has been organized by his daughter, Hollie Dorsey, to help with funeral expenses, medical bills, and to support Bill’s wife, Karen, as she navigates life without him. The family is grateful for the outpouring of support and donations from the community, which have already begun to come in.

Friends and family have expressed their condolences and shared touching memories of Bill on social media. Some of these heartfelt messages include:

• Tee Schurtz: "I’m so very sorry to hear this news! May memories of happier times fill your heart!"
• Kristen Williams: "So sorry for your loss Hollie! Sending you all the love."
• Mariah Knauf: "Oh Hollie… I am so sorry. I’ll be lighting a candle for him today."
• Alisha Marie Scott: "Bill was a wonderful person! Prayers for your family and your sweet momma."
• Chris Bondurant: "Losing a parent is always hard. I am so sorry for your loss."

Bill’s life will be honored with a service at Sisco Funeral Chapel in Springdale, AR. The date and further details will be shared with friends and family in the coming days.

We are deeply saddened to learn of William Bill Dorsey’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Dorsey family during this difficult time.
