William (Bill) W. Jolly, age 85, of Knoxville, Tennessee, passed away on April 8, 2021. The Queen City became a second home to Bill when he wed his late wife, Mary Lue (Meyer) of Cincinnati. They were married for 40 years. Norris Lake was home for much of their time together, where they made countless memories with family. Bill is survived by seven brothers and sisters, in-laws, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Several fell for his clever head scratchscheme. He paid a penny per minute! They fondly remember his bold sense of adventure, playful personality and love for Skyline Chili and Oreo cookies. Memorial gifts may be made to the St. Joseph Columbarium Fund (P.O. Box 387 Norris, Tennessee 37828), The Betty Anne Jolly Norris Community Library (P.O. Box 1110 Norris, Tennessee 37828) or the Big Brothers Big Sisters of East Tennessee (318 N.
