Billie M. Lidik, age 92, a resident of Kenosha, died Wednesday May 20^th, 2020 at the Hospice Alliance Hospice House in Pleasant Prairie WI.

          Born on February 25^th, 1928 in Chicago IL, she was the daughter of the late William H. and Susan M. (Lacy) Barbour.

          She was educated as a young girl in Franklin Park IL and then in Kenosha. She was a graduate of Mary D. Bradford High School.

          She was a 60-year member of St. Anthony Catholic Church. She worked for 50 years at the Kenosha County Health Department and didn’t fully retire until she was 80. In her prime, Billie was an avid walker and covered 4-5 miles every morning, socialized regularly with her friends on Wednesdays at a place they called “Cheers” and enjoyed a glass of wine every now and then. She loved to travel, read, volunteer for Meals on Wheels and was known for knitting the best dish cloths and baby afghans. Billie was a champion of young people, always encouraging them to spread their wings and follow their dreams.
