Billie Vinson Sauerwine

Billie Sauerwine, 77, passed away February 28, 2026. She was born in Coco Beach, Florida January 12, 1949, to the late Samuel Carl Vinson and Mildred Vinson.

Ms. Sauerwine graduated from the University of South Florida and from the University of Denver with a business degree. She was an executive account manager.

She loved to watch football, especially the Denver Broncos, and love on her Huskey dog and cats. She loved gardening, bird watching, and feeding the birds.

Billie was an independent, strong-willed person but most of all she was a loving mother who was always there for her son and family when needed.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Samuel Carl Vinson.

Survivors include her son, Robert "Chris" Sauerwine (Felicia), and a granddaughter, Gianna Petruzziello.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held in Florida at a later date.

 - Afterglow -

I'd like the memory of me

to be a happy one.

I'd like to have an

afterglow of smiles when the day is done.

I'd like to leave an echo

whispering softly down the ways...

Of happy times, and laughing times,

and bright and sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who grieve

to dry before the sun,

Of happy memories that I leave behind

when day is done.
