reading. After retiring she
volunteered with the Smart
Reading Program.
She loved Jesus as her
personal savior and was
an amazing prayer warrior.
She was a fi rm believer in
eating healthy and walked
an average of three miles a
day. She enjoyed going on
cruises, making road trips
to see her kids and fam-
ily, watching golf, jigsaw
puzzles, knitting (some
awesome afghans!) and
enjoyed watching the birds
all over the yard.

Tommie Billings; grand-
children Brittny Smith,
Alissa King, Connor Stark,
