She loved them all very much and any time she got to spend with them meant everything to her. Billie loved to play softball, where she excelled as a pitcher and batter. She enjoyed making ceramics and painted all of them by hand. She could talk for hours; and especially enjoyed her talks with her sister-in-law, Mildred Calvert, who she talked to every day. She shared the love of telling jokes with her husband of 50+ years, Simon. They both loved to have fun.
