She made sure they were in church every time the doors were open. The family moved to Bellevue in the early 70’s because the Bellevue Church of Christ felt like home to her. She was a member there for over 50 years. She was very active in the church and taught many children in Sunday school. In 1972, Billie began a career in real estate with Blair Realtors selling homes in the Bellevue area.

Bille Jean was very active during her life. She played tennis, was in several bowling leagues, later in life took up golf and is the only one in the family that has a hole in one. She loved playing golf with her three sisters. Her and Billie Joe also loved playing cards with family and friends. They also enjoyed traveling with ball teams, to barrel races, with church friends and family members.

Billie spent countless hours at sporting events cheering on her boys. At baseball games her boys have all heard “hit it over second base.”

She was always Billie Jean or Sister growing up. Then after moving to Bellevue she was known as Billie then after her grandchildren were born she was known as BB. Whatever you knew her by you knew she was a Godly wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
