William “Bill” Francis Pollett, age 78, passed away August 9, 2025.

William “Bill” Francis Pollett, age 78, of Branson, Missouri, passed away August 9, 2025, with family by his side. He entered this life on July 16, 1947, in Antwerp, Belgium, the son of William and Ann Pollett. Bill was joined in marriage to Geraldine “Jeri” Battaglia on April 10, 1981.
A devote believer in the word of Jehovah, Bill was a proud member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses and spread the word often. A man of his word, Bill was very passionate about his beliefs in being right. He enjoyed watching Star Trek and NASCAR, riding motorcycles, restoring classic cars, drag racing, woodworking, and raising Bassett hounds. Bill’s favorite meal was cheeseburgers, French fries, and soda. His generosity that he shared with his friends and family was unmatched, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Bill is survived by his wife of forty-four years, Jeri Pollett of Branson, Missouri; two daughters: Bethann Pollett of Ottawa, Illinois, and Jennifer (Matthew) Stewart of Rockaway Beach, Missouri; six grandchildren and their spouses: Anthony (Cassidy) Head of Hollister, Missouri; Andrew (Lacy) Head of Branson, Missouri, Ashley (Stan) Bishop of Jeffersonville, Indiana, Cody Pollett of Indiana, Alex Conness of Ottawa, Illinois, and McKinley Pollett of Ottawa, Illinois; four great-grandchildren: Maverick Bishop, Eli Bishop, Marcus Pollett, and Kayden Head; and a sister-in-law, Pat Schmidt of La Salle, Illinois. He was preceded in death by his parents and son, Mark William Pollett.

There will be a celebration of life held 10:00 a.m., Friday, August 22, 2025, at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 1965 Bee Creek Rd, Branson, Missouri. Arrangements and cremation are under the direction of Cremations of the Ozarks.
