Billie Swartz Obituary

Billie passed away peacefully at home in Everett, Washington on May 9, 2016. She was born on January 27, 1937, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Billie retired from the Snohomish County PUD in 1992. She belonged to the Everett Elks and enjoyed playing cards with friends at the Stillaguamish Senior Center. Her family has fond memories of many game nights with Mom/Grandma. She was fun-loving and socially active to the end. Billie leaves behind her brother, four daughters, a stepson, seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. At Billie's request and wishes no formal services will be held.

Miss you every day Mom. Your laugh, your smile, your advice - be it good or bad, your honesty and even your bluntness. But I know you are in a better place with those you love and still having fun!
