Billie Carol (Clay) Gordon
Obituary
Billie Carol Gordon, beloved mother, sister and friend passed away on February 11, 2025, at the age of 81. Born in Wheeler, Texas, on March 7, 1943, Billie with her late husband, Bill Gordon, later made her home in Los Gatos, California.
Billie had a passion for travel, a deep love for animals, and an eye for the beauty of the natural world. She was an avid birdwatcher, rock hound, gardener and traveller. She loved to laugh and make others laugh along with her. She could turn any time into a good time.
She once told her daughter that she wanted her gravestone to say that her last words were ' Hey Bubba, watch this'. That is how she lived her life.
Billie will be remembered for her laughter, her generous heart and the love she shared with both people and animals alike. She is deeply missed, but her spirit lives on in the laughter of good friends and the quiet wonders of nature she cherished-the call of a bird, the sparkle of a found stone, and the joy of a well-told story.
A celebration of her life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will gather to honor her memory, share stories, laugh and maybe even pocket a rock or two in her honor.
