Iverson, E. W. Bill, (d. 1995; b. 1925; TS;
“A memorial service for Earl William (Bill) Iverson will be held at Zion Emmanuel Lutheran Church at 11 a.m. today, Thursday, Dec 15. Mr. Iverson died Thursday, Dec 7, 1995, in Ilwaco, WA. He was 70 years old.
He was born in Wilbur on Oct 13, 1925, the son of Earl and Iva Iverson. He began school in Wilbur. He moved with his family to Odessa in 1940. He was graduated from Odessa High School with the Class of 1943. Following graduation, Bill enlisted in the US Navy and became a fighter aircraft mechanic with Carrier Aircraft service Unit 50 at Pasco. He received his training at naval stations at Farragut, Idaho; Norman, OK, and Whidbey Island, WA.
While in the service, Bill married his high school sweetheart, Lucile Luiten, on May 5, 1945, at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Kennewick. After honorable discharge from the Navy in 1946, Bill worked in Pasco as a clerk typist for the US Army and as an automobile mechanic at Finch Motors in Wilbur.
In 1948, Bill and Lucile took over the farm of her parents, the Luiten homestead south of Lamona. There they raised their family of five children and continued farming until Bill’s health forced him to retire in 1982. During these years, Bill worked at many jobs to help supplement the farm income. He was an auto mechanic and welder at Birge’s Garage and Wolf Motor Sales in Odessa. He did farm and mechanic work for neighbors. He drove the Odessa School District’s Lamona bus route for 19 years. He was a member of Zion-Emmanuel Lutheran Church and was chairman, elder, Sunday School teacher, choir member and delegate to church conventions.
He was a member of several organizations, including the American Legion and its drum and bugle corps and the Farmers Home Adm. board and other farm-involved groups. He served as president and membership chairman of the Holiday Rambler Club. After retirement, Bill and Lucile joined a group called Rovers, and they roamed the Pacific Northwest in their RV. During these travels, Bill and Lucile enjoyed meeting many interesting people. They also played and sang sacred songs and golden-oldies—Bill on the saxophone and Lucile on the keyboard—at convalescent, retirement and senior centers, campgrounds and churches.
He was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Lucile, at home; son David Iverson and his wife Sharon, of Davenport; daughter Judith Iverson of Odessa; daughter Sandra Zingelmann and her husband, Jim, of Longview, WA; son Larry Iverson and his wife, Claudia, of Lamona; son Norman Iverson of Harrington; daughter-in-law, Merry C Iverson, of Spokane; granddaughters, grandsons, and great-grandson; brother, Jack Iverson, of Spokane; sister Margaret Schadendorf, of Algona, Iowa; stepmother Helen Iverson, of Spokane, and numerous aunts, nieces and nephews.” (Odessa Record-Dec 15, 1995)
