After graduation, during WWII, she went along with her father and sister to Pasadena, Calif. where she worked at Boeing Airlines. There she worked on airplanes, to be known as a "Rosie the Riverter." Upon returning home, she moved to Woodward with her dear friends Mary Ann and Hershel Erwin. There she worked at the Woodward Mental Hospital and was introduced to her future husband. In 1953 she married her husband, Edgar M. Lease. Edgar and Billie began their lives as a family along with his two daughters, Judy and Janice and had three daughters together, Dora, Ardith and Rose Anne. Edgar was in the Air Force. They moved to several bases around the country before purchasing their home just outside Missouri Valley. They settled on a small acreage which used to be the old dance hall. Billie had a love of books. While she read a variety of books, there's probably not a Louis L'Amour book she hasn't read. She loved sewing/quilting.
