It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Carolyn Billman.

Carolyn was a long-time board member and staff member at Bay Area First Step whose dedication, compassion, and belief in recovery touched countless lives. She gave so much of herself to this organization and to the people we serve. Carolyn truly helped many and loved all.

Her legacy lives on through the individuals, families, and community she supported so faithfully over the years. She will be deeply missed by all of us at Bay Area First Step.

We hold Carolyn’s family, friends, and loved ones in our thoughts during this difficult time.
