  Billie Jean Pell, a cherished mother, grandmother, and sister, passed from this life on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at age 72. One of nine children, Billie was born at home in Poolville, Texas, to the late Ed Poulter and Pearlie Blackmon, on November 2, 1951.

  Billie dedicated her career to nursing and showed compassion by caring for those in need. Her selfless nature shone brightly through her love for helping others. However, her greatest joy came from spending time with her family, especially during family gatherings. Known for her culinary skills, Billie's delicious meals brought warmth and comfort to all who knew her.

  Remembered fondly for her spirited personality, Billie's family treasures memories of her playful pranks and mischievous charm. She often took her children to the lake for fun-filled days of fishing. Billie would skillfully clean and cook their catch of the day!
