As a mother, Billie dedicated herself wholeheartedly to her children, Brett and Jill, instilling in them the importance of kindness, tenacity, and faith. Her unwavering love and support guided them through life's ups and downs, shaping them into the individuals they are today. The daily phone calls with Brett's "Toots" and Jill's "Best Friend" were not just routine check-ins, but moments of comfort, sometimes straightforward, often comical but always filled with endless encouragement. Billie's love knew no bounds, and her children felt it deeply in their hearts every single day. Billie loved her daughter-in-law, Lynn, and son-in-law, Colin, as if they were her own children. Her bond with each of them was truly unique and special.

Billie put her faith in God, and as a follower of Jesus Christ, she poured her heart into her church, Cedar Pointe Baptist Church. Her commitment was steadfast, as she lovingly opened her home to host small group Bible studies that touched the lives of many. Billie's dedication shone brightly as she selflessly volunteered at countless church events, spreading the light of her faith wherever she went. Her belief in God was not just a part of her life - it was the very foundation upon which she built her existence.

Every moment spent with her beloved grandchildren was a precious gift that she treasured above all else. From baking cookies to embarking on exciting adventures, Piggie created unforgettable memories for her grandchildren. Her home was a sanctuary of love, filled with laughter, warmth, and endless "Piggie" traditions that brought the family together in ways that words could never capture. The connection she shared with her five grandchildren was nothing short of magical. Each one held a special place in her heart.The joy in her eyes, the laughter in her voice, and the love in her actions spoke volumes about the depth of her affection for them.
