Billie Pettifield, age 87, of Lake Charles, La. passed away on Friday, Sept. 3, 2021. Billie was born April 14, 1934 to Charles and Ethel Massey Vines.

Our mother was a graduate of Jonesboro – Hodge High in Jonesboro, La. Shortly after graduation she started a career at Bell South in Lake Charles, La.

A short while later she met and married HJ Pettifield, they had five children and both walked together with Christ as their savior, a testament to the White Satin Bible with a Orchard on top of it that she carried down the aisle on her wedding day.

While raising her family she worked as a Care Giver in Geriatric Home Care, she was also a Poll Worker for Calcasieu Parish, La.

Sewing and quilting hobbies have brought much joy to her family through the years. She was a natural at gardening and taking care of her flower beds, it was a welcoming past time of hers.

Our memories will not fade with time but will be treasured by each and every one whom knew her.
