Billie Graves Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 8, 2017.

Our sweet and loving parents, Glendon L. and Billie G. Graves went to be with our Lord this weekend. Mom passed away Sept 8th and Dad on Sept 10th. They were married 75 years and have two loving daughters Glenda Gail Biggerstaff of Ft. Worth, TX and Carol Ann Garrett son-in-law Joe of Edmond, OK. They also have four grandchildren, Jody Garrett wife Rae Lynn of Blanchard, Ok, Kellie Glynn husband Michael of Keller, TX. David Biggerstaff wife Valerie of Denver, Col and Scott Biggerstaff wife Julie of McKinney, TX. They have seven great grandchildren, Kylie, Brittney, Parker, Luke, Logan, Brooke and Preston. Our Dad was a WWWII veteran and served in the Navy on the USS Pickens. He took part in the invasion of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He loved to fish and quail hunt. Dad was a glazier all his life and when he retired he became the Business Agent for Local 1776. Mom was a homemaker was always there for their daughters. She made sure we always had everything we needed and a lot we did not. She was the most loving Mother anyone could ask for. They belonged to the Quail Springs Baptist Church and attended until their health would not allow them to. We will love you Mom and Dad forever. Service will be 2:00pm, Graveside on Thursday, September 14, 2017 at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens.
