I knew Bobbi as a member of the Hillcrest Rotary Club and when Joe was alive and active with the club. She was always friendly and outgoing. She will be missed. My sympathies to the members of her family.

Aunt Bobbe always made me feel beautiful and special and loved.
To Carole, Joannie and Jeannie — you beautiful ladies are strong women who came from a strong woman. Her light will continue to shine through you and through your children.

Carole, Joan and Jean, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I worked with Bobbe at Realty One and Professional Partners. Her greatest joy was the three of you and her grandchildren. I do not get the daily paper and I got a call on Friday morning about Bobbe. Unfortunately I have been having extreme migraine headaches and cannot drive when I’m on the medicine. Know that my prayers are with all of you. I know Bobbe will be missed.
