Bobbie was a longtime member of the First Methodist Church of Carrollton, attending weekly until June of this year. She loved her church and was so blessed by her Sunday School class and teacher.
A very special thanks to her many friends who took time out to visit her, pray with her, bring her special treats, and keep her company. Also special thanks to the Atria Assisted Living facility in Carrollton (where she enjoyed having meals with Mary Kleypas and Don). We also are so grateful to the Arabella Palliative and Hospice Care which took such loving care of her in her final days.
