Billie loved Jesus, family and friends. She was a member of Guiding Star Church in Sunnyvale, and she loved to sing in church with her family and brothers and sisters in Christ. She worked countless years for car dealership's Auto City and Barrett Motors. She loved all of co-workers and countless customers, they meant the world to her. She was a kind soul who would lend a hand when needed, always putting others before herself. She had her trials and her struggles, but always had a smile on her face.
