Bill Ballenger

The St. Albert community is saddened to see the loss of a Council Bluffs legend, Bill Ballenger.  Bill was a military man, former Council Bluffs Mayor, successful businessman and was instrumental in his later years for the SWIowa Honor Flight Mission.  Bill's Grandchildren attend St. Albert and the Ballenger family has been very supportive of St. Albert Schools.  Please say a prayer today for Bill and please keep the Ballenger family in your prayers in these coming difficult weeks...

Eternal rest grant unto Bill O Lord: And let perpetual light shine upon him.

May Bill rest in peace. Amen

May Bill's soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed through the mercy of God our Father rest in peace. Amen
