LYMAN — William Von Chamberlain, 74 of Lyman Wyoming, passed away peacefully on Feb. 21, 2021, In the George E. Wahlen VA Home, Ogden Utah.
Von was born Feb. 7, 1947, in Hilliard, Wyoming; to Zetta Alice Danielson Chamberlain

Von attended Evanston High School, and after graduation enlisted in the United States Air Force. He served in Korea, and was always proud to have served his country.
Upon returning home, he married Alice Lester, and together, they had three children: daughters, Vonda and Patsy; and a son, Cassidy.
