Along with her family, Billie enjoyed getting away to the beach and mountains. She would be ready at a moment’s notice to pack her kids up and head to King’s Canyon, Lake Arrowhead or the Sequoias for short weekend camping trips. She loved to fish, play cards and sit and enjoy God’s creation.  

Billie was a dedicated member of her church. Her kindness and generosity led her to volunteer at the local food pantry and Next Step Women’s Center. Her main passion was working with Cursillo. She served on many teams supporting women in their walk of faith. Her joy and love were evident to all who made their Cursillo weekend.
