Billie was a faithful servant to the Lord.  Her passion was to be giving, and she always prayed for those she recognized were in need.  She loved her garden and would sit many hours feeding the birds and turtles.  She loved her family and adored her children and great grandchildren.  She was an active member at the First United Methodist Church and was part of the church choir, the Silver Chords.  Always well dressed and ever elegant, she was our southern bell.  She will be forever in our hearts and will be missed.

Pallbearers will be Damon Tuttle, Dallas Tuttle, Jimmy Hill, Scotty Montgomery, Jason Garcia and Gary Finch.
