Wallace Westerdale, 90 of Waxahachie passed away peacefully in his home on Sunday, March 7, 2021. He was born July 11, 1930 in Macomb, Illinois to Leonard and Loretta (Gilchrist) Westerdale. He was preceded in death by his parents and spouse Virginia.

Wallace was a brilliant math teacher and had a great skill with mechanical things. He was an antique car enthusiast and founding member of the Hudson Club. He loved restoring old cars and owned several Hudsons, Kaisers, and various other automobiles that he had restored or, was currently working to renew. He loved to tell stories and possessed a remarkable memory.

Possibly his only nemesis was his cell phone or the television remote control. He affectionately referred to his “smartphone” as a “dumbphone.” It has been noted that he had such difficulty with his phone that he could delete a contact just by looking at it!

Wallace is survived by one daughter & son-in-law, Vicki and George Cerniglia, granddaughters Kimery Shepherd and Jodi Porter and four great-grandchildren. Additionally, he is survived by two sisters.

He will be laid to rest in the city of his birthplace, Macomb, Illinois, at a date and time to be determined.
