Billie cherished her family and looked forward to preparing wonderful meals that they could gather together to enjoy. Along with spending time in the kitchen and being with her family, she loved playing the piano and performing gospel music with Ed. Over the years, she faced a number of significant health concerns but she continued to battle and overcome each as they came with a quiet strength, never complaining or making a fuss. Despite these numerous and often-times painful medical challenges, she always stayed positive with an unwavering faith in God and with a smile on her face. It is comforting to know that she now rests easy, at peace with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
