Mr. William S. Proctor Sr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

William Stanley Proctor, Sr. “Boodney” On Friday, August 14, 2020, William S. Proctor, Sr. entered into the glorious presence of the Lord. Born on December 8, 1945, William was the only son of the late William B. Proctor and Helen (Blake) Dorsey and the oldest of nine siblings. William grew up in Prince George’s County, Maryland, where education began. After leaving Fairmont Heights High School, he enlisted in the Army and received an Honorable Discharge. He soon after enlisted into the Airforce, where he was privileged to travel the world. Following his tenure within the military, he began his career with Washington Area Transit Authority (Metro) as a mechanic until he retired in 1998. After retiring, he continued to travel, work on his cars, and maintain his yard. He was a loyal neighbor and like a father to many. On February 14, 1967, he met the love of his life, Lila “Jean” Stacker in Washington, D.C. They married four years later, on January 30, 1971. The young couple then purchased their first home in Cheverly, MD, where they raised their family. He was the proud father of Victoria Peterson, William S. Proctor, II, Tamiko Proctor, Kimberly Proctor- Denton, and Julia Proctor. Being a father and “Pop-Pop” meant the world to him. Most will remember William (affectionately known as “Boodney”) as a die-hard Redskins fan and often saw him driving his Redskins-themed vans. He loved talking trash about the “sorry” Cowboys, and football was often a topic of conversation at endless parties and cookouts that everyone looked forward to attending. If he wasn’t home, he would often be at his favorite spot, known as, “The Hill”. Everyone he met loved his spirit and his authentic heart. A major part of his heart was centered around his grandchildren. He spared no expense to give them everything they wanted and more. He would share colorful conversations with his grandsons and his granddaughters had him wrapped around their finger. He was preceded in death by his wife Lila Jean, mother Helen Dorsey, father William B. Proctor; two brothers James and Michael Dorsey; and a sister Angela Dorsey-Whittingham. He leaves to cherish his memory his children: Victoria, William (Rebecca Jones), Tamiko (Bill Brewton), Kimberly (Jon Denton), and Julia (Michael Proctor); his nine grandchildren, Christopher A. Brewton, Chad D. Parrish, Jr., Tyree Jordan, Cameron A. Brewton, Chaun A. Brewton, William S. Proctor, III, Chayce A. Brewton, Jabria Minnis, and London Harps; his six siblings: Francis Dorsey (Marie), Barbara White (Charles), Mary Saunders, Sheila Dorsey, Joseph Dorsey, Paul Dorsey (Monica); a God-Daughter Shagaye Dorsey, long time friend Debra Ochoa, two best friends: Warren Rouse and William White; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends. Boodney was loved by all and will be deeply missed. Good Mourning Life by J. Reid Presents: Celebration of life For Mr. William S. Proctor, Sr. Thank you for using Good Mourning Life by J.
