IN THE CARE OF
Woodlawn Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens
William Anthony Ross, 76, of Virginia Beach, passed away peacefully in his home on Monday, September 23, 2019.
He was born in Tennesee on November 20, 1942, the son of the late Eugene and Ruth Ross. He was also preceded in death by his brother, Ronnie Eugene Ross; and his daughter, Dorothy Christine Ross. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 44 years, Mary Ross; his daughters, Robin Ross, Dawn Ross, and Mitchelle Ebron; his son, Michael Ross; his sisters, Patricia Wilkerson, Patricia Franklin, Lori Ross, and Karen Speight; his brothers, Ricky Ross, Gary Ross, Myke Ross, and Ricky Williams; and a host of extended family and friends.
William was a veteran of the US Army, was a God-faring man, and was a member of Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Virginia Beach who sang in the men’s choir. He was a simple man who loved animals, good jokes, and the outdoors-especially bar-b-ques and fishing. His hobbies included making bird houses, and cooking, and he never missed an episode of his favorite TV shows. William had a sweet-tooth, and loved his candy and bubble gum.
A visitation will be held on Monday, September 30, 2019 from 6-8 PM and a funeral service on Tuesday, October 1, 2019 at 1 PM at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 6329 E. Virginia Beach Blvd., Norfolk, VA 23502 with a burial to follow at Woodlawn Memorial Gardens.
