Billie Pavich Obituary

Billie Harman Pavich

March 26, 1923 - May 3, 2025

Billie Pavich passed away on May 3, 2025, at the age of 102. Hers was a long and happy life. She is survived by her daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, two grandchildren, one great-grandson, and many wonderful nieces and nephews.

Billie was devoted to her family and friends and made a difference for the better in the many lives she touched. Our loss is Heaven's gain. She was a wonderful, generous, energetic and amazing woman. One of her greatest loves was cooking and feeding family and friends. Each day is a gift from God. In her memory, share a meal and time with those you love as often as you can.

At Billie's request, there will be a celebration of her life on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., at New Life Evangelical Church, 101 Keesling Avenue, Salem, with lunch to follow. Online condolences may be expressed to the family by visiting www.johnmoakey.com.
