Billie was known to many young people as Mama, Granny, Nanny, Nanna, and Mama Billie. She was a friend to all and never met a stranger. She loved her family and friends. She loved her church family, and had many talents, to include but not limited to quilting, knitting, crocheting, sewing, playing the piano and organ, and tending beautiful flowers. She loved the sound of the ocean, the sunrise and the setting of the sun. She loved a storm as it reminded her just how small she was in this world. Mama will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her. We are sure she is in Heaven playing for our Lord’s choir.
