A 1942 graduate of Central High School in Clinton, Ky., and Mayfield (Ky.) School of Beauty Culture, she was the former owner of Billie’s Beauty Shop in Clinton. She had also been employed at Newton’s Beauty Shop in Hickman, Ky., and had retired as bookkeeper of the Hickman-Fulton County Rural Electric System.
She resided and raised her family on the Maple Crest Farm near Cayce, Ky., until moving to South Fulton in 1977. She was a faithful member of First Christian Church in Fulton and served on the board. She was a self-taught seamstress who had a flair for style and was a gourmet cook who loved to entertain family and friends at her home and church festivities. Vegetable and flower gardening and needlepoint were hobbies, but her joy was spending time with friends and supporting many community events. She was a member of the Senior Circle and the Red Hat Society. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and she leaves many special friends who will miss her laughter, zest for life and sweet disposition.
