Billie Marie Miller, 83, of Waterloo, IL, passed away Saturday, December 30, 2023. She was born March 14, 1940 in East St. Louis, IL, to Otto and Azalea (Evans) Isbill. Billie was a devoted wife and mother who consistently provided comfort, love and support to her family. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the light of her life and she took great pride in nurturing them and showering them with affection. She enjoyed organizing parties as the presence of her family brought her so much joy. Billie’s selflessness extended beyond family as she enjoyed taking care of the campgrounds for the Army Corps of Engineers Park System with her husband, Bud, where she had the opportunity to meet so many people. Billie had a special bond with her sister, Barb. They enjoyed many trips and adventures together, along with many dinners and adventures with her in-laws as well. Billie could often be found sitting on her front porch where she enjoyed watching the changing seasons and appreciating the simple pleasures. Let us all take a moment to sit on our front porches and embrace the beauty of life just as Billie did.
Survivors left to cherish her memory include her children, Darlene (Dennis) Farney, Christine (Michael) Brinkmann and Chuck (Laura) Miller; 12 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren; sister, Barbara (Norris) Lutz and brothers, Terry (Patty) Isbill and Doug (Diane) Isbill. Billie was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Charles E. Miller; brother, Richard (Nedra) Isbill; great-granddaughter, Marlee KayAnn Miller.
A private family service will be held. Interment will take place in Lake View Memorial Gardens. Memorial contributions can be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or Boystown.
