Obituary for William Edgar McDannold
William E. McDannold, Sr.
1918-2014
Shawnee, KS- William “Bill” Edgar McDannold, Sr., 96, passed away on November 23, 2014. Our old pilot ran out of fuel, stayed his course and glided gently to a soft landing with family at his side.
He was born on October 20, 1918 to William Earl and Ruth (Smith) McDannold in the family home near Clarksville, Missouri. Bill graduated from high school in Louisiana, Missouri.
His time at the University of Missouri was interrupted by war in 1943. He and Erma, his wife of 67 years, were married in Frederick TX while he was stationed there for pilot training.
Bill and his flight crew flew 35 combat missions over Europe. Crew members lauded Bill for skill and strong-arming of their crippled B-24 and B-17 bombers back to safe landings in England.
Post war, Bill reunited with Erma and met Bill Jr. Back at MU he earned a bachelors’ degree in agricultural science. A thirty-three year career with the Missouri Department of Conservation found Bill developing and managing public use wildlife management areas. Bill was twice named Missouri Professional Wildlife Conservationist of the Year. His last assignment was manager of the Pony Express Area near Maysville.
He was a member of United Methodist Church, Cameron, MO; VFW, American Legion Post #33 and AF & AM Vincil Lodge # 62 as a thirty-three degree Free Mason.
Survivors include his six children, Bill Jr, Roberta Mandl (John), Harriet McAnerney (Don), Kathleen Elder (Doug), Barry, and Rebecca Earley (Tom), 13 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, wife Erma, and 2 sisters, Mary Hemingson and Sue Pyler.

A memorial fund has been established through the Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation to support Wetland and Waterfowl Conservation. Arr.: Poland-Thompson Funeral Home, Cameron, MO.
