William Bagwell Obituary
William Gary Bagwell, 79, of Oakwood, GA, passed away peacefully in his home on August 22, 2026 after an extended illness.

Born on June 15, 1947, Gary was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and educator. He was married to his beloved wife, Patricia (Millwood) Bagwell, since 1971—a loving partnership of 55 years.

Gary was raised on a working chicken farm and began farming at a young age. Although he chose not to make farming his career, he went on to hold many interesting jobs. He served in the United States Army and spent 2 years living on an army base in Germany. He was the events coordinator at the Georgia Mountains Center for several years but, finally settled on being an educator school teacher. He dedicated his professional life to educating and guiding young people. He was a faithful member and deacon of Flat Creek Baptist Church, where he served the congregation with quiet commitment and a servant’s heart.

Gary loved music, especially singing and directing church choirs. He served as minister of music at Flat Creek Baptist Church for eight years. What began as an interim role continued for eight years. After retiring from education, he founded a senior adult choir aptly named “The Golden Chorale.” Leading the choir was his passion, and until just a few weeks before his passing, he was working diligently to regain the strength to conduct it again.

Gary is preceded in death by his father, William Herbert Bagwell, mother Evelyn Norrell Bagwell, and Celste Bagwell Forrester. He is survived by his wife, Patricia; his daughter, Heather (Josh) Bagwell Westmoreland his two cherished grandchildren, Anna Kate and Henry Westmoreland, sister Connie (Colin) Bagwell Millwood and brother David (Lynn) Bagwell, a number of nieces and nephews.

A life of steady faith, family devotion, and service to others, Gary will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
