Billie Lynne LaTray
1943-2009
Billie Lynne Latray died in Dillon Dec. 26, 2009 after a long battle with leukemia and emphysema.
She was born Oct. 30, 1943 in Hamilton to Henry(Slim) and Dorothy Lawson. Billie attended local schools, mostly in Beaverhead County. In 1962, Billie married Ed Acquin and to this union was born their son, Michael Acquin. They later parted. Billie met and married Donald LaTray and they remained buddies until Don’s death in 2003.
Billie will always be remembered for her fantastic cooking abilities and many have been warmed using her crocheted afghans. Billie was an avid reader and could hold her own in any conversation, and she was a mean Scrabble player.
Billie is survived by her son Michael (Judy) Brunswick, Me.; grandchildren Joshua Acquin of Las Vegas, Nev., Casey Acquin of Brunswick, Me., and Tom Bennett of Brunswick, Me.; sister Carol Hildreth of Dillon; brothers Allen (Tona) Lawson of Dillon and Rich (Renny) of Wisdom; two great-grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews.
Billie was preceded in death by her parents, husband Don, brother and sister-in-law Bob and Shirley Johnson, and nephew Jay Johnson. (Personal message note: Lump Lump, we love you and will cherish your memory always. Thank you for letting us share your life with you and we’ll see you on the other side.) A memorial service and reception to celebrate Billie’s life will be announced at a later date. A guest book is available on line at www.brundagefuneralhome.com.
