Betty (Billie) (Pizor) Winters Born 10/4/1924 Passed peacefully 10/3/2015. Until recently, she resided in her Leschi home. She graduated from Garfield High School in 1941; modeled and was employed by Hy-Lo Fashions and Moss Apparel. She enjoyed several Seattle restaurant positions, including The Dinner Bell, Ivar’s and was a receptionist @ Seattle Town & Country Club. During her years in restaurants, she met many celebrities who appeared @ venues in the City. Billie delighted in gardening, travel, cooking, music, family, close friends and neighborhood children. She and her Mom, Mabel, were always our Fashionistas. She had a real affection for the City of Seattle; sometimes saddened by its rapid growth, but always proud to be a resident. Confined to a wheelchair with multiple sclerosis, beginning in mid-life, she rarely complained. Billie is survived by a Cousin, June Tonkin; Seattle, Lynn Strong; Portland, Barbara Jones; Reedley, CA plus a dear Friend from Garfield High School days, June Jensen. Grateful thanks to caregivers from Catholic Community Services: Bea, Mary Beth, Alisha. Faithful and caring neighbors: Anthony and Rick, Ingrid and Diedra, Kat and Belinda. Added appreciation to the caring Staff @Queen Anne Healthcare; Providence (Cherry Hill) Hospice and always supportive long-time friends, Lisa and Denise. Remembrances may be made to:
The Multiple Sclerosis Society Providence Hospice of Seattle or the Charity of your choice. “Billie: You were, and will continue to be, an inspiration to each Life you touched. Thanks for the Memories.”
