Billie made her mark on the Commonwealth through her energetic advocacy for conservative values, becoming a fixture at Republican Party gatherings all across Kentucky and instantly recognizable in her signature red, white, and blue outfits. But Southeastern Kentucky – and especially her lifelong hometown of Fariston – were always at the center of her heart, and she helped improve her community through her work in local schools, her church, and alongside her late husband Glen in the business community. Elaine and I will miss Billie deeply and share our deepest sympathies with her daughters Kathy, Glenna, and Cindy, seven grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:34:28Z |
