Billie Kathern Crow was welcomed into the world on July 31, 1940 in Locust Grove, Oklahoma to her parents Clarence M. and Myrtle Blackwell. She lived for seventy-seven years before being called home to eternity on Monday, November 13, 2017 surrounded by her family at her home in Wagoner.

Billie was united in marriage with the love of her life Gary R. Crow on June 24, 1960 in Tulsa at Carbondale Assembly of God. A few of her hobbies were traveling, family vacations and watching the St. Louis Cardinals. Billie served as a Blue Bird Leader, 4-H leader and cheer coach. She was known by many as the fill in mom and "Mimi." She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and aunt who loved to spend time with her family and take care of them. While Billie was able, she and Gary attended Christian Chapel Church in Muskogee where they served as door greeters for many years. She loved God and was grateful for the life with which she was blessed. Billie was a 15 year survivor of breast cancer and had lived with Parkinson's Disease for the past several years. Billie retired from OSU Extension Service where she served as NE District Executive Secretary.
