Billie F. Nix

BOSSIER CITY, LA - Our precious mother, Billie Frank Dunn Nix, "MawMaw", joined our dad and beloved husband of 67 years, Lee Nix, "PawPaw", in their heavenly home with the Lord Jesus on Sunday morning, July 19, 2015. Services will be held Friday, July 24, 2015 at Rose-Neath Bossier, with visitation at 10 a.m. followed by the service at 11 a.m. Graveside will follow at 3 p.m. at Strong Cemetery in Henderson, TX. Officiating will be her grandson-in-law, Bro. Beauchamp Powers, with special prayer by grandson, Bro. Waylon Brooks. She was born into this world on August 28, 1929, to Russell and Lois Dunn of Pine Hill, TX, who along with her three brothers, Jimmie C. Dunn, Gay R. Dunn and Joe H. Dunn, and one grandson, William L. Hamil, Jr. precede her in death. Left to cherish her sweet memory are her four daughters, Gloria Cossey and husband, Roy, Gwenda Jackson and husband, Ed, Lois Dawson, and Gayla Davidson; grandchildren, Waylon Brooks, Veronica Racherbaumer, Bryan Jackson, Vanessa Powers, Matthew Jackson, Kellye Davidson, Gary Lee Davidson, Jr., Kayla Navejas, Anthony Hamil, Ashley Bolton, Alex Hamil and Melissa Cossey, and 19 great grandchildren. Pallbearers will be her grandsons, Bryan Jackson, Gary Davidson, Jr., Alex Hamil, Matthew Jackson, Dylan Jackson, Jackson Powers, Micah Powers, Adam Racherbaumer and Ben Racherbaumer. Honorary pallbearers will be Austin Spoor and Pierce Brooks. Like the righteous woman of Proverbs 31, she looked to God's wisdom in providing for the needs of her family. Her husband's heart always trusted in her. She cared for him with loving devotion until his time was over and her love remained strong as she called out for him daily once he was gone. Mother raised her children and grandchildren to love the Lord and His scriptures. She lived her life with a servant's heart for her family and those in need. She loved everyone, "with all her heart". We wish to give a special gratitude of thanks to all the loving staff at Colonial Oaks Guest Care, Bellaire's Homebound Ministry, Gamble Hospice Care and all those who have visited and ministered to her during her time at Colonial Oaks.
