Billie Owen Obituary, Death – Billie Carolyn Sneed Owen was a member of the Sneed family and passed away on November 22, 2022. She was born on October 27, 1941, to the late William Samuel Sneed and Ruby Messick Sneed Lindley. Billie graduated from Hanes High School in 1960 and went on to have a successful career with Wachovia Bank, where she worked from 1962 to 1997. She tied the knot with Rev.

They served as ministers at the Temple Baptist Church in Lewisville, North Carolina, for a combined total of forty years. She went back to the Crestwood Baptist Church, where she and Bud had been married, after he had passed away. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, an infant sister named Eleanor Sneed, and a sister named Joyce Lindley Hudson.

Her parents and husband had already passed away. Billie is survived by her children, Scott Owen (who is married to Teresa) of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and Amy Tilson (who is married to Robert) of Matthews, North Carolina, as well as her cherished grandsons, Chris Owen (who is married to Catie) of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Nick Owen (who is married to Jessy) of Texas, and Matt Tilson (who is married to Charlotte, North Carolina). Also surviving are her great granddaughter Addy Owen and her mother Sarah, both of New Mexico; a sister, Beverly (Mike) Smith of Pfafftown, North Carolina; a brother in-law, Gary Hudson of Clemmons, North Carolina; a niece, April (Scott) Williamson of Pfafftown, North Carolina; an uncle, Bob (Hilda) Messick of Winston-Salem, North Carolina; a very special cousin, Kaye Hill of Walnut.

The event will take place on Saturday, November 26, 2022 at Temple Baptist Church in Lewisville, North Carolina, and will be presided over by Reverend Benjamin Webb. Billie has been under the care of Trellis Supportive Care ever since her diagnosis of cancer of the bile duct.
