William Vanhoose, 82
William Vanhoose, 82, of Blue Creek, passed away Thursday, November 12, 2026. He was born November 2, 1944, in West Portsmouth to the late Clyde Vanhoose and Laura Elizabeth (Blanton) Vanhoose. Along with his parents, William was preceded in death by his wife, Cynthia Rae (Adams) Vanhoose, whom he married on December 4, 1974, and his brothers, Edward, Ovie, and Jay Blanton.
William was a real “garage guy” who loved spending time working on project cars. A true jack of all trades, he could do just about anything and wore many hats throughout his life. Whatever he was doing, he always found his way back to the garage and his love of mechanics.
William is survived by his two daughters, Ginny (Chris) Hall and Patricia Timberlake. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Nathan Hall and Jacob Hall, and his great-grandchildren, Benny and Koda Hall, along with other grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother, Winford Vanhoose.
