Clarksville, TN – Billie Christine began her earthly journey on Monday, May 8th, 1933, daughter to loving parents, Ramey Rogers and Agnes Hopkins Rogers. Her parents, sister, Lottie Rogers and four brothers: Willie Rogers, Commodore Rogers, Rev. Webbie Rogers and Sandy Rogers preceded her in death.
She accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior at an early age and was a faithful member of Sulphur Springs African Methodist Episcopal Church where she served as a member of Area 6 Missionary Society, Lay Secretary, Trustee, Secretary of Willing Workers, Senior Choir Secretary, and member of the South of the River Choir.
Billie received her formal education in the Montgomery County School System, and she was a graduate of the Historic Burt High School with the Class of 1952. Throughout her lifetime, she enjoyed employment with the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System in the Transportation Department as a Bus Aide.
Billie was united in holy matrimony with W. Edward Woodruff.
She loved her family dearly and enjoyed spending time with them. She enjoyed crafting, gardening, and traveling. All who knew and loved her will sorely miss her presence and beautiful smile.
