Billie Ruth Nugent

Billie Ruth Nugent, cherished wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away on Saturday, August 24, 2024, at the age of 76. Born on Saturday, July 24, 1948, in Monroe, Louisiana, Billie was a woman of strength, kindness, and compassion. After graduating from Zachary High School, she furthered her studies at Southeastern Louisiana University. Her professional journey led her to a successful career at EFCU Financial, where she excelled as a dedicated branch manager.

An active member of Magnolia Methodist Church, Billie's dedication to her faith was unwavering. She enjoyed spending her free time bowling, and her love for animals led her to become involved in animal rescue efforts.

Billie is proceeded in death by her mother Bernice Redding Tucker, and her sister Peggy J. Fogleman.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 56 years, Ronnie Nugent, her daughter Nikki Tinsley, her son Neale Nugent (Candace Montgomery and her daughter Taylor), and her granddaughter Kylie Tinsley. Billie is also survived by her long-term best friends Corliss Satterfeal and Monica Peters; her furbabies Taz and Indy; and numerous nieces and nephews that she loved dearly.
