She was preceded in death by her parents, Jack and Hazel Rosch; an infant sister, Lois; her daughter, Cheryl; and her husband, James “Bud”. She is survived by her son, Dennis Lewis and wife Judy; daughter, Rikki Bullard; brother, John Rosch and wife Barbara; 4 grandchildren; and 9 great-grandchildren.
Billie was widely known and respected throughout the local home-building and construction community during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s as a highly efficient and accurate materials estimator, working for Bennett Lumber, Bellingham Builders, Westside Builders, and continued to do free-lance work into her 80s.
Her interests included her family; traveling with Bud in their own airplane, camper-van, and boat; reading, and playing pinochle in card groups at the Bellingham Senior Center, the Moose Lodge, and the Elks Lodge.
Billie was a life-long Christian and attended Christ the King Community Church. She loved God, was devoted to her family, was a good friend and neighbor, and will be missed by everyone who knew her as a sweet and gracious lady. A graveside service will be held in July for the immediate family. Memorials may be made to Whatcom Hospice.
