Billie Flinn

Billie Jo Flinn, 82, of Twin Falls passed away on Friday June 2, 2017 at the home of her daughter, where she was held, loved and supported by her girls as Jesus wrapped her in his arms and carried her home. She was born Billie Jo Kincheloe on September 23, 1934 in Vernon, Texas to David Ervan Kincheloe and Ora Kay Kennedy (Kincheloe). She was very proud of her Kincheloe Heritage.

Billie loved crocheting and was the queen of scrubbies (which we will all miss so much). She loved to play games, cards (especially pinochle) and was an avid reader. Most of all, Billie loved being surrounded by her family no matter what the occasion. Billie was a genuine spitfire, with a great sense of humor and was a take charge no nonsense type of person and will be greatly missed by all.
