Billie Louise Clark Howard was born into Eternal Life on July 13, 2020, in Whitesboro, TX. She was the only child and daughter of devoted and loving parents, Fred Thomas Clark and Catherine Mae Lewellyn Clark. She was born in Sherman, Texas on Monday, October 6, 1930.

She married Earl Jefferson Howard on August 27, 1949 in East Sherman Baptist Church, Sherman, Texas. They lived in Sherman until January 1956 when they moved to Denison, Texas, following Earl's promotion with Piggly Wiggly.

Billie attended Jefferson Elementary School and graduated for Sherman High School in May 1948. Choosing not to attend college she enrolled in the Business School in Sherman until January 1949, when she was employed at the Retail Merchants Association for several years, retiring when Earl returned from military service. After the birth of their only child, Catherine Elaine, she then became a full-time homemaker, devoting her time to her beloved family.

In the years that followed, she was a member in the Denison Service League for a brief time, and both she and Earl were active in Waples Memorial United Methodist Church in the early years of their residence in Denison. In the 1970's she and Earl discovered and enjoyed Square Dancing for several years at Texoma Square Dance Club. After retirement, they also enjoyed traveling and genealogy, which led to a wonderful history of their families. This led to finding many ancestors and provided membership in The Daughters of the American Revolution, The United Daughters of the Confederacy, and The Colonial Dames of the CXVII Century.
