Billy Zane Wolfe Obituary (2023)

Billy Zane Wolfe was born at home, on a farm in Bruno, Arkansas, on January 22, 1936, to Luther Wolf and Lucille Milligan. In 1956, Billy moved to Yakima. Between Yakima and Kirkland, Washington, he began working on the Natural Gas pipeline. It was while in Yakima, that he met Pepper (Eleanor Duffin), and they were married in June of 1958. Billy began working for the Herald Republic Newspaper, in April of 1959, and was there through July 30, 1999. He retired as Pressroom Foreman. Billy and Pepper had purchased land outside of Moxee, Washington, and after many years of picking up rocks and planting, they created a beautiful apple orchard and built their dream home. They were incredibly happy in the oasis they created. Billy was a friend to all and the first one to step up to help anyone. His family has always regarded him as larger than life! He could always talk your ear off and had a great sense of humor. Billy is preceded in death by his wife, Pepper; his daughter, Deborah Sue; grandson, Nathian Charles Newhall; and granddaughter, Heather Erin Collingridge. He leaves behind his sister, Donna Sue Wasson; daughters, Nanci Newhall, Penny Collingridge, Renae Hale; son, Bruce Peugh; and 10 his grandchildren, ranging in age from 13 to 44. Billy Zane will always be loved by all, and forever lives in our hearts and dearest memories. We love you, Daddy.
