William B. Suprenand

William B. Suprenand, 81, passed away on Aug. 13, 2025. 

Bill is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Susan, his daughters Lori (Randy) Michel and Sally (Rick) Yanda, granddaughter CeNe’dra (Stan) Misic, stepfather Gerald “Buzz” (Pat) Roen, his brothers Dan (Liz) Suprenand and Tom (Kathy) Suprenand and many nieces and nephews. 

He was preceded in death by his mother Lucille Roen, sister Holly Suprenand, brother Neal (Linda) Suprenand and father William Suprenand.

Bill was born Dec. 13, 1943, in Milwaukee, Wis. 

In 1960, while attending high school in Fond du Lac, Bill met Sue LeFever, and they married four years later on Aug. 15, 1964. 

Bill moved to Milwaukee and landed a job with A.O. Smith Corp. and worked his way into management in purchasing. While in Milwaukee, his family grew to include two beautiful daughters.

Bill and Sue began studying the Bible and eventually dedicated their lives to serving their heavenly Father Jehovah in 1970. The family has many fond memories of friends in the Brown Deer Congregation and witnessing in seldom-worked areas of the United States.

In 1983, Bill moved his family to Port Washington, joining the local congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. In 1993, they welcomed their precious granddaughter to the family. After 40 years, Bill retired from A.O. Smith. Soon after, he and Sue began to serve together as full-time ministers. 

Bill was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2013. The family and congregation lovingly supported and cared for him. The family especially thanks our dear friend Lori Johnson. The family appreciates Ankica Misic and the staff at High Point Residence in Port Washington, as well as the very special staff with Sharon Richardson Hospice. To the neighbors in Greystone Estates, thank you for your compassionate care and watchful eye. We are forever grateful for all everyone did and continues to do.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Aug. 23, 2025, at the Port Washington Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses Kingdom Hall, 2500 Lake Shore Rd., Port Washington, Wis. Visitation will begin at 2 p.m., with a memorial service to follow at 3 p.m.
