It has come to my attention that this website has not been updated lately when we have lost a dear relative. Billie Bob was the first one of 2021. We miss this sweet cousin dearly. Picture below is one from a reunion a few years ago.

Billie Bob Kiser Bushong (98) of Lewisville, TX passed away peacefully on Friday, January 15th, 2021 from cancer.  Billie spent her 98 1/2 years serving the Lord well and investing in her family.  Her grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren fondly referred to her as “Memaw” and “Honey”, and could always count on her dry wit to keep them laughing and her warm heart to exude southern charm.   Billie could always be found enriching the lives of others by serving as a Pink Lady in the Odessa hospital, leading multiple groups at church in Brownwood, serving as an Eastern Star, volunteering at the food bank and cooking in the kitchen at the Baptist Encampment.  She very much enjoyed quilting in her quilting circle and sharing her work as gifts to others, and spending time with her wonderful group at First Baptist of Lewisville.  Billie was a strong rock for her family over the years and was known to use her incredible gift of baking to show them all her love.  She is survived by her daughter, Linda Carol Turman of Lewisville, her grandson, William Turman and wife Linda, granddaughter, Karen Mason.  Honey was adored by her 5 great grandchildren; Kennah Hineman and husband Keaton, Morgan Mason, Connor Mason, Caroline Turman, and Rachel Turman, and had the joy of knowing her 2 great great granddaughters, Mason Hineman and Colbie Hineman.  She also loved and is survived by her sister Mary Jones  and many neices and nephews.  Billie is preceded in death by her husband J.T. (Jake) Bushong, sisters Marie Nolan, Kate McSherry, Jimmie Keegan, brothers JT. Kiser, Waldo Kiser and Gene Kiser.

A service to celebrate Bill’s life was held 10:00 a.m. Thursday, January 21, 2021, at First Baptist Church of Lewisville. Interment followed at Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery in Dallas on February 8, 2021.
