Billie was a kind person who was devoted to her family. She and my mother, Dorothy Sheard, were friends for many years. They worked together at the sewing factory and both were involved in Factoryville Baptist Church. The friendship meant a great deal to Dorothy and they continued contact even after they no longer both lived near each other. Billie will be missed by many.
