Billie Harwell Stutts of Mooresville, N.C., passed away on May 2, 2022. She was born April 4, 1933, and was a lifelong resident of Mooresville and lifelong member of Central United Methodist Church. Billie was the loving daughter of the late Herbert Alexander and Ethel Spurlin Harwell. She was preceded in death by her sister, Charlene Harwell McLaurin; brother-in-law, Lawrence McLaurin; and nephew, Larry McLaurin.

Billie was a graduate of Mooresville Senior High School, Class of 1951, where she was a proud member of the marching band and the Girls’ Varsity Basketball team. She retired from Draymore Manufacturing Company and then during her retirement years assisted visitors at the Charles Mack Citizen’s Center in Mooresville.
