While living and working in Excelsior Springs, MO, Billie met Maynard Curtis Olstad. They were married September 22, 1945, in Kansas City, MO. They moved to Rutland, ND and proceeded to work and raise their family.
Billie worked at clinics in Rutland and Forman, ND. Upon her retirement, she worked for several years with the Senior Companion Program in Sargent County.

She was a member of the Nordland Lutheran Church of Rutland and had been active in the Ladies Aid and the Sunday School program.
Maynard passed away on November 10, 1988. Billie continued to make Rutland her home until moving to the North Dakota Veterans Home in Lisbon, where she happily lived until her passing on Wednesday, February 22, 2012, at the age of 91.
