Billie Jean Dodson
Billie Jean Dodson a resident of the Phoenix area for more
than 15 years passed away Friday March 2, 2012 in her home. She
is survived by 5 sisters, 3 brothers and 2 children; Precilla
Romo, Debra Leggett, Dorothy Preciado, Cynthia Dodson, Gina
Dodson, Ron Shields, Carl Johnson, Clark Shields, Serenity Rose
Williams, and SkyDawn Marie Wilson-Leggett. Her father Paul
Dodson also lives here in the valley with his wife Elizabeth.
Billie moved to the valley from Stockton, CA in 1992 and quickly
fell in love with Phoenix. She encouraged her sister Gina to
join her in her newly found paradise. Together they attended
Maryvale High School and made fast friends with some of the
students who became friends for life. Billie was never afraid of
trying something new and was always seeking to have a much fun
as possible. This zest for life, combined with a troubled
childhood led to her struggles with addiction. She was always
friendly, non-judging, and generous, to anyone she met. She
touched the lives of countless people. She will be missed.
Memorial services will be held at the A.L. Moore-Grimshaw
Mortuary
at 710 W. Bethany Home Road in Phoenix on Saturday, March 10,
2012 at 11:00 AM. All who knew her are welcome to come and pay
their respects.
