While married to Gary, she also never minded getting her hands full of glue while helping him with his boat work. Besides her hobbies, Bobbie was also a devoted Green Bay Packers fan.

I will always remember Bobbie as a gracious and kind person. Her devotion to her family was obvious and always so proud of Tyler and Travis. I am very fortunate to have enjoyed her friendship and I will miss her beautiful smile which she shared so easily.

I did not know you well Bobbie but Travis has been a good friend of mine for a very long time. He's a great man and I'm proud to have had the opportunity to have met you. May God bless you and keep you until you and your family are reunited once again.

I will miss you Bobbie! I'll miss eating Fraboni's with you, and watching hours of SVU and Criminal Minds with you, and gossiping about the latest issue of Star magazine. I treasure the jewelry that you made for me and wish I could spend the day in the bead store with you one more time. Renzo, Eero, and I love and miss you very much!
