She was a great storyteller. Scary stories were her favorite. Her brothers and sisters loved to listen to her stories. Billie Faye had a great sense of humor. She was always smiling and laughing. She looked forward to a good cold Coca-Cola. Billie Faye was extremely stubborn, just ask the nurses at the nursing home. Her last few months were a bit of a blur to her. The three people that she always remembered were her children, Linda Faye, Jamie and Rosie, her baby girl.
