Billie remarried on Dec. 20, 1992, to Kenneth Brown. They met in Ohio while Billie was visiting family and, no ifs, ands or buts about it, they were to live in Montana. No arguments here from Ken!
Billie loved gardening, sewing, crafts, bridge and pinnacle card clubs, fishing, anything outdoors, Grizzly football games, and being with family. She had such a zest for life and lived it to the fullest. She was blessed with many great friends who helped her keep her social calendar full. She had a very big, giving heart and would do anything for anyone.
There are not enough adjectives to describe her: kind, beautiful, classy. She kept her wit right up to the end. Can't express how much she will be missed and what a void there will be in the lives of the people who were fortunate to have known her.
