William John Asher

In Loving Memory of William John Asher, Sr.

William John Asher, Sr., of Buffalo Junction, Virginia, passed away on November 15, 2023, at the age of 87. He was born on November 9, 1936, in Englewood, New Jersey to Samuel Asher and Catherine Hickey and lived a life filled with love and a deep commitment to his family.  William (Bill) attended St. Francis College in Loretto, PA, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History in 1958.

Bill was united in marriage to Rosella (Sally) Bormann on April 20, 1963, and their union was a source of strength and joy for nearly six decades. Sally preceded him in death, earlier this year.  Together, Bill and Sally raised a family that became the center of their world. Bill is survived by his three children: Johanna J. Asher of Pleasanton, California; William J. Asher, Jr., of Bozeman, Montana; and Allison M. Asher of Bullock, North Carolina, and his grandchildren, Hunter, Sam, and Corinna Asher and Kyle Mann.  He leaves behind a legacy of love and familial bonds that will forever be cherished.  Bill's love extended beyond his immediate family to his dear sister, Therese Asher Stotler of Maplewood, New Jersey. Their bond was unbreakable, a testament to the strength of family ties that defined Bill's life.

In addition to his role as a loving husband, father, and brother, Bill was known for his kindness, generosity, and unwavering commitment to his community. His impact reached far and wide, touching the lives of those fortunate enough to know him.  Bill was a proud member of St. Catherine’s of Siena Catholic Community. Memorial services will be held at St. Catherine of Siena, Clarksville, VA, on Thursday, November 30, 2023, 10:00 am.  Memorial donations may be made in Bill Asher’s name to Dementia Society of America at www.dementiasociety.org.

William John Asher, Sr., will be deeply missed but forever remembered for the warmth he brought to the lives of those around him. May he rest in eternal peace, reunited with his beloved Sally, and may his family find solace in the cherished memories they shared.
