Billie Jean is preceded in death by her husband, parents, countless uncles, aunts, cousins, and an infant daughter.  She is survived by her brother, his two children Jeremy (Amber),  Kali Jo (Zach) and their children. Her children Rick (Carrie), Angela (Michael) and her grandchildren Lauren, Gabriel, Jack, and Abigail…All of whom, she loved very much.

Billie Jean was a talented cake decorator by trade and loved to sing at church.  She lived through many things that most people could not, but she never lost her smile.  Her legacy carries that sentiment.  Billie Jean believed you could make the world a better place by bringing a positive attitude and the shining light of Jesus.  May we always remember and honor her by doing the same.
