Willie Garrett Wall. She married Jimmie Dale Head on September 9, 1950 in Greenville,
Texas. Billie June and Jimmie Dale welcomed sons Gary Head in 1957 and Jerry Head in
1960 into their family.
Spending her entire life as a Greenville resident, one of Billie June's first jobs was working
at the Hunt County Court House. Billie June also sold Avon for over fifty years. Her
favorite part of that job was the opportunity to be of service to so many people. Her life
was about service to her family, community and church. Billie June and Jimmie Dale
cherished the opportunity they had to teach 3-year-olds for many years in Sunday School
at the Baptist Church.
In later years Billie June and Jimmie Dale enjoyed traveling with friends and taking
numerous church arranged trips with Highland Terrace Baptist Church where they were
members.
Billie June enjoyed being with friends of all ages and could usually be found at Cracker
Barrel several times a week.
She had a generous giving spirit and lived her life helping others.
Billie June is survived by son Gary Head, granddaughter Michelle Gurtin and husband
Steve Gurtin, great-grandson Brendan Gurtin and grandson David Head. She was
preceded in death by her husband Jimmie Dale, son Jerry, sisters Linda, Betty, Carolyn,
