CASHTON - Tommy Wallace, 69, of rural Cashton, WI, passed away at his home Wednesday evening, April 24, 2024. He was born April 3, 1955, to Almond and Edith (Suhr) Wallace in Viroqua, WI.
He met Elizabeth “Betty” Cunningham at a horse pull in Yuba, where all great love-stories start, and on June 8, 1974, he married her at the Dilly Church, rural Hillsboro. Together they farmed and in 1999, moved to Cashton. In his retirement, Tommy enjoyed talking with his neighbors and being a driver for the Amish community. Being a 4-H leader, he loved participating in the many events throughout the year, especially the Vernon County Fair where he was usually found helping in the concessions booth. He also transported sheds to the different locations they needed to go. Tommy’s signature laugh was his calling card and it was always included in any conversation he was having with friends and neighbors. He enjoyed being with his family whom he loved very much. He will be missed.
Tommy is survived by his wife, Betty; children, Brenda (Rob) Zimmer, Jennifer Wallace, and Brian (Jessica) Wallace; daughter-in-law, Sara Faulkner; grandchildren, Tiffany (Zakk Reyzek) Miles, Jacee, Spencer and Justyn Wallace, Dylan (Kendall Cannada) Wallace, Aerin and Kady Wallace; one great granddaughter, Zoey Reyzek; siblings, Calvin Wallace, Ray (Cathy) Wallace, Susie Miller, Ora Wallace, David (Lori) Wallace, Paul (Laurie) Wallace and Pauline (Gerald) Volden; along with other relatives and friends.
