COLUMBUS
William D. “Billy” Stitsworth, 47, of Columbus, passed away at 11:33 a.m. Thursday, January 7, 2021 at I.U. Health Hospital-Bloomington.
Billy was born May 26, 1973 in Columbus, Indiana, the son of Henry Stitsworth and Lynn Walker.
Billy worked at Columbus Schwinn for 22 years and later worked at Bishop’s Appliance Store for several years. He loved going out on his bike and riding and also enjoyed riding his motorcycle, even if it was cold out. He rode a Penny Farthing in the Columbus Day parade. (The kind of old fashioned bike with big spoke wheel in the front and a small wheel in the back.) Billy enjoyed working in the yard and garden in his free time. In addition, he loved his family and will be missed by those that know him and his little dog, Sofie.
Survivors include his parents, Henry and Jane Stitsworth of Nashville, mother, Lynn Walker Carmer; sisters, April (Joe) Guevara, Amber (Donna) Schrelick, Anna (Trevor) Carmer; brother, Jeff Sanford, all of Columbus; several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his uncles, William “Bill” Stitsworth and Jerry Walker.
