JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER: She grew up in California and then Washington with one brother . She loved her mom’s laugh and saw that her father’s favorite thing was to take care of her mom.
Once on a camping trip to the coast in a rain storm, their camper sprang a leak in the night. Her dad drove around the campground asking her and and brother and her if the leak had stopped while her mom held a rain coat under the leak. They finally did find a spot to park where the leak was stopped and they were able to sleep.
One time she left a candy bar poster on the porch of a boyfriend, only to realize as she and her friend drove off, that the dog in the yard may eat it! They drove around the block and when they made it back to check…the dog already had eaten the candy. All that was left were empty wrappers.
Favorite subject was art and biology; favorite thing to do in the summer is to read and garden; favorite food is yams; dessert is Pineapple cake; favorite sport dancing (ballet, ballroom and rock); favorite music is jazz and inspirational church music; Her favorite color is pink and likes to build things.
Her scariest experience was walking past a spot where she knew there was a rattlesnake and passed out. A quirky habit of she has is rearranging store displays that have been messed up.
She loves to spend time creating floral arrangements and bridal bouquets. For an instrument she plays radio and the CD player. So, she does like music but prefers not to sing in public.
Kathy has two beautiful daughters, one grandson and is expecting another in the late summer. This lovely and talented lady has dark brown short hair, not too tall with brown eyes.
The thing she would like to accomplish during this life time, is to always submit her will to her Heavenly Father. She is a night person who values honesty and caring in others. She would also like to go back to college.
How about this? She relaxes cutting intricate and delicate paper items. She laughs at funny stories and when nervous; cries when saying goodbye after a good visit. She is amazing at scrapbooking, card making, floral design, indexing, organizing and beading. Find her in church with jewelry and your odds are that she has made it herself!
She would like to visit England or Tahiti.
Her favorite prophet is President Hinckley, favorite hymn is” Adam Ondi Ahman”, “Oh Savior, Thou Who Wearest a Crown” or “ Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”, then she says, “oh that is a hard question I have lots of favorites!”

Meet Sister Billie Durbin:
Welcome to Parkwood Ward Billie! Many of you are fairly familiar with her by now, but some of us have not had that opportunity yet.
Billie grew up in Tacoma, Washington, with two sisters and one brother. She remembers her mom’s beautiful eyes, great baking skills, her willing to teach and always made her feel loved.
Her father is remembered as a man with a sense of humor, a no nonsense attitude, and making her feel loved! A family trip to the ocean is a favorite memory, but what really lingers is a feeling of being loved by all her family members. Needless to say she looked up to her parents and a special Aunt Ethel.
Favorite subjects at school were literature and cooking; her favorite holiday was Christmas and singing “Silent Night” before the family went to bed Christmas Eve; summer time is for the park; favorite sport was swimming; favorite food is baked potato with steak and salad; dessert would be angel food cake with strawberries. Billie likes church and classical music; reading biographies and fiction; likes to sing and dance (from rock n roll to a waltz); her favorite color is yellow; likes to build things and has a quirky habit of swaying back and forth as she fixes her hair! (There goes that dancing thing!)
Strangest thing to happen to her: Drag racing a Chevy II Nova station wagon against a Corvette. Guess who won? She did!!! A scary experience was walking the North Rim of the Grand Canyon where is drops off on both sides! Why did you do this? Play time if filled doing crossword puzzles and crafts with her daughter and granddaughters. Yes, she married and had two daughters, Vickie Ann and Kimberly Joy. Billie is quiet at first meeting, positive, reliable and loves People! Values kindness and a positive attitude in others; and if she knew she wouldn’t fail, would like to water ski; favorite advice received is: “Actions speak Louder than Words!”; and likes to relax watching a happy movie.
She’s a night person; her children and grandchildren make her laugh and sacred music or stories make her cry. She has most admired Joseph Smith through history, has a hobby of making “LOVE” bears; would like to visit Ireland. Billie’s favorite hymn is “I Stand all Amazed” and “As I Have Loved You”.
Please return any of these questioners that you may be holding to me or a member of the R.S. Presidency. Thanks, Marci Mason
