Billie was the sweetest person ever. I fixed her hair for years, when she came into the shop she was always busy doing something. Our families went to Florida together and we had the greatest time. She also made the best cinnamon rolls and shared them with everyone. She will definitely be missed but also remembered. My prayers are with her family.

I’m terribly sad to hear of this news. Mrs Billie was one of the sweetest people that I have ever known. I don’t believe that I have ever seen her without a smile on her face. She loved so many of our babies like her own and brought Joy to so many. I know she is rejoicing at the feet of Jesus. Prayers for all of her family.

Anita and Renee you were so blessed with a mother that was an angel her on earth. She was so good to everyone and loved by everyone she came in contact with. I pray God gives you both peace because that’s what she would want. I will never forget her because she is always in my heart. God bless both of you and all your family! Loves always Blendia and Bridgett Curtis

Blendia Curtis - Friend

All of the tributes are so similar because Ms. Billie was the same precious person to everyone she met. She always greeted you with a smile and asked how you were doing and tried to brighten your day. She blessed everyone, but her biggest blessings were probably given to the babies she rocked and raised for years and the middle school children she loved unconditionally. The earth will miss her presence, but Heaven is smiling. Many prayers for her entire family.

Linda Dye - Friend

We will so miss our Billie, we have lived next door for over 50 years. Our kids went to school together and we have shared so many memories. Our luncheons with the 65 Girls, a train trip to Van Burean that will never be forgotten. Will miss Tommy and Billie until we meet again, and I am sure they are happy together.
