Billie Holliman, 71, of Abilene, TX passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, July 14, 2019 with her daughter by her side. She was born to parents Loyd “Speck” and Thelma “Meme” Holliman on May 8, 1948 in Quanah, TX. Billie graduated high school from Dalhart High School and attended Lamar Junior College in
Colorado. Billie worked in the auto auction business in Amarillo, Colorado Springs and Albuquerque;
which eventually led her to Abilene where she worked for Herb Pittman at Big State Auto Auction. Billie

Debbie (Terry Blake) Finch; Brother Loyd (Desiree) Holliman; and grandchildren, Sydney and Murray
