After Amy’s birth, the family relocated to Dallas, where their son, David, was born. A devoted and loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Bobbie was also a committed friend who saw the goodness in everyone she met. She was always kind in her thoughts, words and deeds, making all who entered her life feel welcomed and loved.
By her example, she leaves a legacy of warmth, sweetness, optimism and good humor.
