William Paape Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved William Paape of Westfield, Wisconsin, who passed away at the age of 83, on December 19, 2025. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of William Paape to show support.

As we bid William farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For William is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Loyal Paape and Irene Zuelsdorf Paape; his wife Shirley (Mueller); and his brothers, Earl and Jim.

He is survived by: his cousins, Ann and Mark Dickmann; and his sisters, Patricia Lohuda and Carol Miller (Kenneth). He is also survived by nieces, nephews, cousins and many, many friends.
