William "Bill" Haskell Carnell, age 84, of Memphis, TN passed away peacefully on June 18, 2025.

Born on October 28, 1940 in Memphis to the late William Luther Carnell and Susie Florine Adams, Bill lived a full and hardworking life. He proudly served in the United States Army from 1959 to 1965 and went on to become a dedicated truck driver for over 40 years.

Bill was a longtime member of Cypress Avenue Baptist Church, where he joyfully served as a Greeter. His warm smile and firm handshake welcomed countless friends and visitors over the years, leaving a lasting impression of kindness and hospitality.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Ann Carnell; his parents and his sister, Marlene Dillon.

Bill is survived by his daughter, Annette Carnell; his son, Jeff Carnell and wife, Ashlea; granddaughter, Amber Arwood and husband, Raymond and great-granddaughters, Amelia Arwood and Ava Arwood. He also leaves behind his brother, Joe Carnell and many friends who will miss his generous spirit.

Bill's legacy is one of service, family and faith. He will be dearly missed.
