Memorial services for Billy Timmons, 81, of Brownfield were held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 20, 2011, at the First Baptist Church in Brownfield with Rev. Pat Cummins and Dr. Carl Moman officiating. Graveside services preceded the memorial service at Terry County Memorial Cemetery under the direction of Brownfield Funeral Home.

Billy was born on July 20, 1929, to Maggie and Bill Timmons in Ropesville. He graduated from New Home High School and he attended Wayland Baptist University, where he played basketball.

He started farming in the Lakeview community, where he met his wife, Betty Yeatts. They were married on January 29, 1950, at the First Baptist Church in Meadow. They were blessed with two sons Ricky and Stacy. He was an active member of the First Baptist Church in Brownfield. Their family was involved in the Terry County community. Billy served as the chairman of the ASCS committee in 1970 and also served as a president of the Terry County Farm Bureau.

He and his family spent many summers in Creede, Colorado, fly fishing and enjoying the outdoors. He was always looking forward to fishing with his sons and friends and always looking for an opportunity to tell a joke and make someone laugh.

He is survived by his loving wife, Betty; a son, Stacy Timmons and wife Kim of Lubbock; three granddaughters, Danya Timmons Anderson of Dallas, Taryn Timmons of Plano and Astyn Davis of Southlake. He is preceded in death by his son, Ricky, who was the husband of Donna Miller Timmons of Plano. He is also survived by two brothers, Roy Timmons and wife Norma of Brownfield and Wayne Timmons and wife Myra of Lubbock; numerous nieces, nephews and many friends.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials to the First Baptist Church of Brownfield or charity of one's choice.
