Known as Patty, she was born on February 14, 1937 - a Valentine with true love in her heart - to Amelia (nee Schilling) and Albert Clark in Chicago, IL. She was raised in Anna, Ohio by her beloved maternal grandmother and aunt in Anna. She is preceded in death by her husband of 54 years and love of her life, Larry Lynn Billing, also of Anna. Patty is survived by two daughters, Lynn Billing of Atlanta, Georgia, and Amy Billing McCoy, son-in-law Mark, two grandsons, Connor and Parker and puppy Joc, of Marietta, Georgia.
Patty graduated from Anna High School in 1954 and Miami Valley Hospital School of Nursing in 1957. Her nursing career included nursing roles at hospitals in Columbus and Dayton, Ohio, Denver, Colorado, and ultimately back home in Sidney, Ohio. After more than 25 years as a registered nurse caring for patients at Wilson Memorial Hospital in Sidney, she retired. Finding herself not quite ready for retirement, she returned to work for several more years as a case manager for Catholic Social Services Passport.
Patty was a lifelong member of St Jacob Lutheran Church in Anna. She and her husband spent their retired years together golfing, traveling, and enjoying time with family and friends. They both loved sports and became road warriors for many years traveling all over the country to watch their grandsons play sports - from tee ball games to college baseball games. They were both passionate University of Kentucky basketball fans. Patty was extremely proud of her grandsons, and especially proud, when she was able to watch both graduate with degrees from the University of Kentucky. In the summer of 2021, she moved to Atlanta to live with her daughter Lynn and be closer to Amy and the family. She loved to bake for others and was famous for her cookies, lemon bars, pies, and chocolate nut candies.
A graveside service and Inurnment will be held on Friday, June 16, 2023, at 11am at Pearl Cemetery in Sidney, Ohio. Following the service, the family will host a celebration of life luncheon at Shelby Oaks Golf Club.
In lieu of flowers, it was Patty’s wishes to kindly consider a donation in her memory to
Wilson Health Hospice Care in Sidney, Ohio or St. Jacobs Lutheran Church in Anna, Ohio.
HM Patterson Canton Hill is honored to serve the Billing family during this difficult time.
