She had grown up in the Catholic faith in Delphos, but later attended the Wayne Street Methodist Church in St. Marys, where she taught Sunday School. 
Bill was an incredible gardener and grew a huge garden plot with her friend, Mike, each year. She also liked cooking, canning the food she grew,  and also  taking care of all kinds of animals. She was known to care for stray cats and raccoons, and she especially loved her cat, Louie. She was also a big fan of dirt track racing.
The real love of her life was her grandchildren, whom she loved and cared for so much. She got her nickname "Bill" from her grandson, a special memory he will always cherish.
