GOODING -- Billie Louise Strickland, 78, formerly of Gooding, Idaho, passed away Nov. 22, 2005, at Magic Valley Regional Medical Center after a long illness.
Billie was born Oct. 3, 1927, at LaGrande, Ore., to William and Mildred Harlow. Billie's mother died shortly after of a sudden illness.

Billie and her sister, Helen, attended Saint Alphonsus School of Nursing and graduated in the spring of 1948. On Sept. 26, 1948, she married Kenneth J. Strickland of Wendell, they moved to a farm north of Gooding where they spent the next 20 years. Billie was always busy helping on the farm, raising a big garden or working at the Gooding Hospital as an R.N. Billie always enjoyed the time she spent as a lifelong member of the order of Eastern Star. She loved to travel with her friends, Leora and Bernice, and especially spoiling her grandkids. Billie was almost always able to flash that genuine smile that lit up her face and made you glad you had met her.
Billie is survived by two sons, Kenny (Sandy) Strickland of Boise, Idaho, and Jerry (Lynn) Strickland of Post Falls, Idaho; daughter, Ginger (Dan) Maxwell of Hagerman; seven grandchildren, four great-great-grandchildren and her sister, Helen (Jim) Kendrick of Buhl, Idaho.
