A GoFundMe was established for funeral expenses by her daughter, Jordan Woodard.

It is with a heavy heart that I bring the news my wonderful, amazing, kind, spunky mother passed away due to complications with a surgery at Kadlec Hospital on the early morning of September 21st. Anyone who knows her knows that she was a light in her community and a pillar for those around her.

Billi, her husband Dwayne Woodard, and their son are responsible for Woody's Bullpen Bar & Grille on Clearwater Avenue in Kennewick.

According to the GoFundMe, money raised will go toward funeral expenses and celebration of life services.

It's amazing to see the outpouring of love and support in so many ways. Truly a testament to my Mom's impact she had on those around her.

Celebration of life services for Billi Cameron will be held on October 28th.

The Celebration of life will be held at Highlands Grange (1500 S. Union Street-Kennewick) from 12 pm to 3 pm, with a reception to follow at Woody's Bullpen Bar & Grille.
