SON William Eugene Cuthbertson

William Eugene “Bill” Cuthbertson, 92, passed away Dec. 31 at his home.

He was born Sept. 25, 1927, in Emporia, Kan., to William A. and Mabel Wilkin Cuthbertson. His older siblings were Don, Louise and Jim. A few years later, the family moved to Sterling, Kan.

Immediately after graduation from high school, he joined the U.S. Navy and was honorably discharged in 1947. He attended Sterling College for two years where he met his future wife, V. Louise Martin. He transferred to Kansas State and graduated first in his Earth sciences class.

He and Louise married in June 1950 in Guthrie, Okla. They moved to New Orleans where he worked for Pure and then Gulf Oil Co. until his retirement in 1981. According to Bill, they drove north until they didn’t see air conditioners anymore, and settled in Cheyenne where they became active in the tennis community.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his siblings; and Louise.

Survivors include Judith Cuthbertson (Jim Packard) of Fort Collins, Colo., Carol Cuthbertson-Mayo (Jack Mayo) of Cheyenne, Jaimee Mayo and Jeree Mayo.
