Bobbie was a devoted educator for many years. Earning two Master’s Degrees in the Education field, with her specialty in Special Education. She was just 12 hours shy of earning her doctorate in education. She loved her special designation of Educational Diagnostician with all of her heart. Her colleagues were blessed to have had her as part of their team. She retired, but continued to work as an Educational Diagnostician Special Consultant until the passing of her husband in 2011.

Bobbie tirelessly kept abreast of her close-knit family with weekly phone calls, and prayed over everyone who ever crossed her path. Many family members credit her as to the link to their path to God and eternity. She will be and is missed greatly. We commend our precious Mother, Aunt, Sister, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and friend into the arms of our Mighty God and Saviour Jesus.
