Billie was my friend as she was a friend to everyone who came in contact with her. I met her when she was taking a course at Merrimack College. We remained in contact and I did visit her at Nevins. However we lost touch as I was busy taking 5 graduate courses and said that I would be in touch when I finished. I am sorry to hear of her passing and extend my sympathy to her family. I will always have a place in my heart for Billie.

Dear Wilson Family,
Sorry I missed this obit. I would have been pround to attend her services. I can't think of anyone else in the Billerica school systems who touched so many lives. What a down to earth person she was. You could go to her with any problem. She was the best! I can still see her racing thru the halls. My own mother who passed away 4 years ago, also thought she was a peach of a person.She will now have alot of conversations about how her "kids" turned out now that she is in heaven. RIP dear lady. Class of '68

There's a new angel in heaven ..and I'll bet she's raising h-ll! She was a lovely, caring, generous and fun woman who was more alive than most anyone I'd ever met. She saved my life when I was young and I love her still for it. I'm sure she's busy watching over all of us.

Billee was my friend, my neighbor, my confidante. I love her and will miss her. She opened her heart and her home to me in 1968 when we moved across the street from those beautiful Japanese Gardens. She watched over me as I raised my family. God brought me to her and now she is with him - hearing Him say "well done, good and faithful servant ...".

I got to know Billee a couple of years ago when she shared a room at Nevins with my mother, Alice. Even well into her nineties she was amazing! I remember telling people about my mother's roommate who had a computer and was planning to learn to speak Spanish!
Billee was always so gracious and enthusiastic. It was a delight to visit with her. She was an inspiration and a model for all of us as to how to age gracefully and never stop learning.

Billee was a longtime friend of my family. She used to accompany her friend (my Aunt Jacquie) to Sunday dinners at our house when I was growing up in Malden, MA. We will all miss her very, very much. To Ken and all your family.....I want to share my very heartfelt condolences.

I met "Billee" in 1963 when I was in the 8th grade. Through my 4 years at BMHS she was my friend and confidante. We lost touch after i graduated but we were reunited in 1989 when my mother passed away. Since then we have kept in touch via letters and phone. I have many letters that she wrote me and I will cherish them always.
To her family, may God Bless you and guide you in the upcoming days. Take comfort in knowing that "Billee" is at peace and with her Lord.

I loved my Great Aunt Eunice and have a lot of memories of her. Like the winters when she wore only her scarf, the time in her 80's when she jumped into our pool with all her close on, and all the Christmas's that she spent with our family. We the Williams will miss her a lot. May God grant her peace forever.
