OBITUARIES

Billie Thornton

Billie Thornton passed away last March after a long battle with cancer.

Billie served AAM in many roles. She was the wife of our past president, Bob Thornton. She served as a trustee and delegate of our Parity Fund and had been a strong supporter since the organization began. She gave many hours to the furthering of AAM’s goals. And always a lady. She is greatly missed.

If you haven’t had a chance to send condolences, you may send them to Bob at 1479 County Road 222, Anna, TX 75409-3208.

The Thornton family thanks everyone for all their acts of love and kindness during the illness and passing of their precious little Billie.
