She also served on various boards in the Rock Rock community while living there. Billie was always giving of her time and would help anyone in need. She was a wonderful cook and would share many of her treasured goodies with friends throughout the community. Billie loved making her well known salsa and would give out jars of it, but she was always careful to safe guard the recipe. Her red beans and cornbread were often gifted to family, friends and neighbors as well. Billie also enjoyed sewing and donated many of her handmade items for charity fundraisers over the years.
