Billie was born in Indio, California, on January 26, 1958, the daughter of William Verl Hodson and Della Carlita (Johnson) Lewis. She married James Moses. Billie, a proud veteran and lifelong lover of simple joys, leaving behind memories filled with strength, spirit, and quiet laughter. A 1976 graduate of West Washington High School, Billie went on to serve her country with honor in the United States Marine Corps—an accomplishment she carried with pride throughout her life. A fiercely independent soul, Billie valued her privacy but had a warm heart for the things she loved most: cheering for her beloved Kansas City Chiefs, spending time with her feisty Chihuahua Little Bit, and enjoying the thrill of a good game of bingo.
