Sadly, William Chambers (Billy) , passed away at the Seven Oaks Hospital on Saturday, September 14, 2024.
Left to mourn his passing are his living and devoted wife Helen; sister Olive (Edward) Toker; in-laws, Leona (Terry) Hancox, Delores Borsa and many nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by his parents, William and Margaret Chambers, in-laws, John and Lena Nahuliak, sister Elizabeth (Alice) (Frank) Kelner, brothers, John (Eileen), Mike (Helen), Henry (Anne), and Martin (Lorraine), brothers-and sisters-in-law, Rose Kolalon, Phillip and Joyce Nahuliak and Rick Borsa. Also, his fur babies, Sylvester (cat), Nikki (dog), Cleo (mad cat) and Spittles (cat). Billy was extremely close to Spittles and was heartbroken when he had to recently say goodbye.
Billy had many jobs throughout the years as a teacher, railroad worker and roofer. Then he joined Equifax as an Investigator where he worked his way up to Manager. While he worked in the city, he still helped his family work on the farm on weekends and holidays. When the family decided to leave the farm, Billy and his brother Mike continued to operate it. Then, when he retired from Equifax, Billy began farming full time with the help of David Shott.
Although he had his gruff moments, Billy was a kindhearted and generous man. Some of his favourite things to do were baseball, curling, snowmobiling, hunting and fishing. He also did commercial fishing with his brother-in-law Rick. In his early days he enjoyed camping with family and going to Las Vegas with Dick and Maureen Johnson. Many great times to remember.
I would like to thank some very special people in our lives: Ed Toker for going to see Billy every day; Delores, Maureen, Olive and Leona for calling me and checking up every evening; and all those who have done and are still doing things for me - Susan and Brian Eyolfson, Maureen and Mitch Johnson, David and Carson Shott, Eric Friederici and many others who offered to help. It means so much to me to have loving and supportive family and friends around at such a sad time.
As per Billy’s wishes, cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held. Anyone wishing to make a donation on his behalf, please consider any animal shelter. Billy would love that.
Billy will be forever remembered and deeply missed.

My memories of uncle Billy would be when I was a youngster and we had a party at our house and he was so kind to me, though they didn’t have any children of there own uncle Billy and my aunt Helen decided to let me have a sleepover at their house, another memory would be a family reunion at my grandparents farm and we had a huge baseball game in the yard, we had no bat but we used a fencepost for the bat, and uncle Billy and uncle Rick had brought a beer keg, great memories RIP uncle Billy.❤️ - Posted by: Terry Koldon (Nephew ) on: Sep 21, 2024
