She cherished every moment spent with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Billie was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Jeannie Rogers; son, Cory McDonald; great grandson, Ilyas Steven Wise Bratton; brother, Danny Gene Rogers.
Known for her artistic spirit, she had a passion for painting and loved spending time at the beach, where she found inspiration and peace.
Billie dedicated her professional life to being an administrator in the custom brokerage industry, where her organizational skills and attention to detail made her a valued colleague and friend.
