Billie J. Sandegren

Billie Jeanne Sandegren was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and
great-grandmother. She was reunited with her Lord and Savior on January 5, 2024.
Billie was born on August 17, 1933, in Des Moines, IA. After graduating from East High School in Des Moines in 1951, she attended Broadlawns Nursing School to become a registered nurse in 1954. While pursuing her degree, she married her husband, Richard, on December 18, 1953. Together, they had three children: Steve, Lynne, and Jeff.
After her career as a nurse, Billie became a drapery home interior seamstress and established her own business for many years. Billie loved reading, cooking, and baking and was a dedicated baseball fan rooting for the Chicago Cubs. She and Richard spent most of their married life near Madrid, IA, until they moved to Boone, IA, in 1994. She was an active member of the First United Methodist Church of Boone. Billie's love of knitting, quilting, and sewing inspired her to aid in the creation of the Prayer Shawl Ministry.
