Billie dedicated 20 plus years of service at the United States Postal Service, where she served as a mail courier at the Alpharetta, GA and Bowersville, GA branches until her retirement. She attended services most recently at Friendship Baptist Church in Cumming, GA.

She was also one of the founding members of Acts 1:8 Missions Ministry and spent more than 20 years and countless mission trips each year serving families in Moldova and Haiti. Billie will always be remembered how quickly she was to lend a helping hand, a kiss on the cheek, and a hug to anyone she felt needed it. During Billies 65 years of life filled with bringing joy and happiness to all around her, there was never a doubt of her undying loyalty and love for the University of Georgia football.
