Billie Irvina Crozier Keele “BICK” Obituary (2015)

See ya later alligatorThe sweetest little lady in the world was greeted by her parents, husband and children on January 30, 2015.She has been waiting for them to “pick her up” for years.Billie was born on Oct 8, 1923 to Wm and Sarah (Whiting) Crozier in Neola Utah just a little over a year after her sister and best friend, Norma was born. She was also blessed with two little brothers, Francis (Roberta) and Dale (deceased) and his sweet wife Deanne as well as her loving baby sister, Carol Skordas.She married Ellis H Keele on Christmas day, side by side with her sister Norma and her beau, John Larsen. Together they entered matrimony, forever and eternity. That is how Billie would have it, a commitment is a commitment, and she died a widow – never loving another.She had five children, Arelene, who was married to Ray Wallberg (Sherley) before her passing many years ago, Brad (Ileen) Keele, Kaye (deceased) and Bud O’Bryan, Sara (Tracy) Zundel and Bobbie (Kent Hoffine) Keele.She is survived by grandchildren, Kenny (Chris) Wallberg, Wendy (Kory) Gilley, Kristie (Sabin) Hinton, Denise (Shane) Smock, Marci (Jess) Plouzek, Alecia (Ben) Teran, Tim (Martina) O’Bryan, Tracey (George) Alexander, Amanda (Che) Presas, Jason (Michele) Keele, Storie (Stacey Gendreau) Gallegos, Amanda Gutierrez, Austin Gutierrez, and Jocelyn (Sonny Lee Jensen) Knowlton and many great grandchildren.Billie painted, sewed, planted and nurtured during her entire life. She was heartbroken when her eye sight failed and she couldn’t do some things that she loved. Billie had Alzheimer’s for 11 years. “Billie” was gone…. for a long time but a really sweet personality took over her body and entertained us for years.In the mornings she would tell her latest dreams, dreams where she was functional, where she drove and walked and sewed and talked and visited with loved ones. Sometimes she had crazy dreams, like one where she dreamed she was a cheese stick…… Wow, really? Yep, and there was a boy cheese stick too! When asked how she knew it was a boy and she said, he had extra cheese! God Love her! Mom, we love you so much and we will miss both of you (original Billie and new Billie) forever.Rest in peace.After a while, CrocodileFuneral Services will be held Tuesday, February 3, 2015 12:30 p.m. at the Mountain Shadows 2nd Ward Chapel, 7925 South 2700 West, West Jordan, UT.
