Billie was born on October 5, 1937, in Canadian to William and Ona Shaw. As a girl her family moved to Miami where she grew up and graduated from high school. After high school she married her high school sweetheart, Tommy Wells and they would have three loving children out of this union. Later, they would separate but remained life-long friends. Billie would discover love again when she met Fred Hupp. They married on May 6, 1977, in Pampa and shared over 20 years together before his passing.

After graduating high school, she used her scholarship to attend and graduate from Draughn’s Business College. After graduating Billie worked for the Dean of Men and Dean of Women as a secretary, working with veterans at West Texas State University. After moving to Sweetwater Billie worked as a secretary for Nolan county Judge. Billie worked as a bookkeeper for many years and started work for the Dunningan family in the late 70’s and remained working for Mike until recently. She was a talented woman who liked the crafts and her garden; you could find her working with ceramics, upholstering, sewing, and tending to her flowers. 

Billie worked as a financial secretary for the First United Methodist Church for 19 years. Billie spent years volunteering at the Relay for Life sometimes working all night.
