Billee was bom Oct. 31,1921 in the first log house (two room) ever built in the valley, located in the lower end of the valley. She was the granddaughter of the Oliver family who were original homesteaders in 1878. Her mother Gladys and father Bert Huff were rugged pioneers. She was the youngest of five children and she grew up running the hills and the Hooker Flat Ranch, barefooted and free. She said, "you jumped the snakes." Billee rode her horse to school in Pine town and Halfway, and told of galloping down main street on her way home from school. Billee married Wm. (Bill) Joseph and they worked in the ship yards in Portland during the second World War. Billee was a welder. She and Bill had four children; Allen, Denise, Keith and Paul. She later married Warren Epps and had a daughter, Edrie. With the passing of Warren she married Robert Howard. On the passing of Robert, Billee lived alone for many years. Billee loved to dance and was an avid reader. She was a great quilt maker and spent many years making custom rodeo shirts for cowboys. She liked to garden and was always busy. In the 1980's Billee bought the tavern now know as “Wild Bills” and turned it into a full service restaurant and bar. She worked hard to remodel, built the bar addition and managed to get the first liquor license issued in eastern Oregon, in 17 years. She called it “Billee." She loved the business, the music and fun but most of all the people. Many years were spent with Billee managing the Pine Valley Fair. She raised the money to buy the picnic tables we still use today and to pour the concrete floor in the exhibit hall that was still dirt and sawdust. She was very proud of the fair and the community. Billee is survived by four of her children, eight grandchildren and many great and great great grandchildren. She is greatly missed but she told us all, she was ready to go. There will not be a service, but for those who would like to make a memorial donation in memory of Billee, the family suggests donations earmarked for Fencing Material for the Panhandle Fair and Rodeo through Tami's Pine Valley Funeral Home & CS - PO Box 543 Halfway, OR 97834.
