She also leaves two sisters, Opal Neely Forrester and Nina Neely Duncan and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins who all loved her dearly. Her greatest pleasure in the last 11 years was being with her great grandchildren. She played with them as if she was their peer, and made each child feel special when they were with her. She was their "Mawmaw Billie" and there were few rules and lots of what they loved to eat at her house. Billie was a member of the Sylvan Hills Church of Christ for 50 years, where most recently she enjoyed the fellowship and traveling with the 49'ers and her widows group. She and her husband, Dick, were the founders and owners of Northside Realty in North Little Rock.
