2 Timothy 4:7

Both Billie and Roger worked for many years in public education in several Texas cities: Hempstead, Huntsville, Port Arthur, Beasley and Weimar before eventually retiring in Mexia. Billie will be remembered for her compassionate nature, her spiritual support to those in need, and the positive and encouraging way she led her life.
