Billie Ray Anderson, son of WT (Bill) and Bertha (Smith) Anderson, entered this world on January 14, 1930, at home on the family farm southwest of Lone Wolf, Oklahoma. Billie left pain and the burdens of this world behind, after living a long and successful life, and entered his heavenly home on February 2, 2022, at the age of 92 years, 2 weeks and 5 days.
Billie attended Soldier Spring Country School south of Lone Wolf, Oklahoma, through the 8th grade, where he was the only one in his class for those 8 years. He went on to attend Lone Wolf High School where he graduated in 1947.
On March 14, 1951, Billie was drafted into the Army. He served for 18 months in Korea and was honorably discharged on December 13, 1952. Billie served in the 2nd Infantry Division, 38th field Artillery as Seargent and was very proud of his service to his country and had many stories to tell of his time there.
After returning home from the Army, Billie married the love of his life, Patricia Mary (Helen) Perez, on November 6, 1953, in Mangum, Oklahoma. He and Helen made their home around Lone Wolf and he lived there for the remainder of his life. Their love for and devotion to each other was exceptional and an example to all who knew them.
Billie was a carpenter all his life and owned Anderson Construction Co. for more than fifty years. He was also a farmer and rancher and a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Billie served on the Lone Wolf School board for many years and was an active member of the Lone Wolf First Baptist Church.
Billie and Helen were known to be hospitable and welcomed numerous nieces and nephews into their home over the years treating them as their own.
Playing games was a pastime that Billie loved (and was known to be very competitive). Dominos, 42, Rook and Wahoo were among the games he enjoyed and he was very hard to beat at Dominos. He also enjoyed playing Garbage with his great-grands.
