Billie Renee Cazier Nield, our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, passed away at the Star Valley Care Center in Afton, Wyoming on September 4, 2024, from complications of a stroke. Billie was 92 years old.

Born in Afton, WY on March 20, 1932, Mom was the youngest child of Earl and Fannie Blacker Cazier. Mom cherished her parents and siblings: Dona, Dora, Ireta, Paul, Marveline, Quinn and LueDene. They were her lifelong friends. Mom was raised on a farm on Nield String in Afton. She learned to work, cook, clean, sew and enjoy family life. Her family meant everything to her.

Mom married her sweetheart, LaRoyce Nield, on November 1, 1950, dad's 20th birthday. He always said that mom was his best birthday present. Mom loved Dad's family as much as her own.  She was a devoted wife who kept her fun-loving, jokester husband in line. Together, Billie and LaRoyce had six children: Cleve, Judy, Jed, Renee, Jill, and Loyce.  To date, they have 11 children including spouses, 48 grandchildren, 87 great grandchildren and 24 great-great grandchildren which brings their posterity to 170.  Mom and Dad loved each one of us with all their hearts.

Mom was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She learned early in life to trust and have faith in Jesus Christ. Life brought trials that tested her faith, but she remained strong. She was an example of what it means to love her Heavenly Father and His Son. She served in various callings throughout her life, including working with the youth, Primary and Relief Society President, serving as an ordinance worker with Dad for ten years in the Idaho Falls Temple. Serving in the nursery with Dad was one her favorite callings. Mom often showed her love to family, friends and all who knew her through the quilts she made, meals, candy and treats. She loved easily and found immense joy in serving others.

To her family, and those she loved as her own, "Grandma Billie" will forever remain the loving mother and grandmother who taught them how to love, laugh and count their many blessings.

Mom is survived by her four daughters: Judy Sokol (Joe) of West Bountiful, Utah, Renee Parker (Dave) and Jill Jenkins (Earl) of Afton, Wyoming, Loyce Bowman (Tom) of Layton, Utah. She is also survived by her daughter-in-law Marie Nield (Jed), her sister LueDene Jenkins of Afton, Wyoming and her sister-in-law Artis Walton of Shelley, Idaho.

She was preceded in death by her husband H. LaRoyce Nield, sons Cleve C. and Jed C. Nield, parents, Earl and Fannie Blacker Cazier, parents-in-law Seth Horace and Vietta Bruce Nield. Additionally, her brothers and sisters-in-law, Paul (Lois) and Quinn (Elaine) Cazier, her sisters and brothers-in-law Dona Tolman (Bish), Dora Perry (Yates), Ireta Kennington (Neal), Marveline Jenkins (Ace), Ruel Jenkins.

The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the doctors and staff at the Star Valley Care Center for the compassionate care and love they showed mom during her stay there. A special thank you to the many family members and friends who visited with Mom in her final years.
