Mom spent her early years in New York, then moved down to Miami after her mother remarried. She met her husband to be (Juan) in school at Little River where they became sweethearts.

They started their family in 1955 with the birth of their daughter Bambi. In 1957, they moved from Miami to Brevard County and chose Cocoa, FL to settle.
Mom was a devoted Methodist and a homemaker. She ran the house, as she was completely loyal to her family. She was our leader and Boss. She enjoyed reading to us, cooking, doing laundry, and helping with our school homework. Every day she was teaching us lessons in life and setting examples to live by.
Mom enjoyed volunteering and gave to many charities. She had a passion for raising two Boston terriers “Tuffy” and “Corky” (who she had a special attachment with during days we were away).
Our mother is survived by her daughter Bambi Lynn Moletteire, Her sons, Robert Juan and Douglas Joe Billingsley (Teresa), Her Grandchildren, Logan and Noah Moletteire, Mariah and Mason Billingsley, Great Grandchildren Keegan, Saveria and Baylee Moletteire and Maverick Augustin.
