Billie was the daughter of Alma Nita (Gardner) and William Ball Hurford. She and Elvie Leon Reedy were married December 24, 1951.

In addition to being a homemaker, Billie was active in church service and loved family history research, spending thousands of hours, along with her husband Leon, documenting their  family trees, preserving and identifying old photographs,  writing letters,  and visiting  libraries and cemeteries. 

She excelled in both academics and sports, serving as captain of her high school baseball, volleyball, and basketball teams.  Billie was part of the Breckenridge Belles Softball Team that went to the National Women’s Softball Tournament in Phoenix Arizona in 1950. Billie also enjoyed needlework and sewing, making  many beautiful quilts and sewing  most of her girls' dresses when they were young, as well as many of her own. She loved to read and was very organized, making her home a pleasant and inviting place for all. In addition, her dry wit, her loving concern for those around her, and her love for the Lord endeared her to family and friends.
 
Billie is preceded in death by her parents, Nita and Bill Hurford, her brothers Gary Thomas Hurford and William Ball Hurford, Jr., and her sister Helen Dolores (Hurford) Sullivan.
