Bobie was an amazing person who had a wonderful sense of humor! She was such a neat person to be around, you couldn't help but feel better about yourself just from knowing her. Bobie will be missed dearly by many people, including me.

Bobie was always a joy to be around, whom I greatly admired & became a special friend, during the years we worked together at the Credit Union & afterwards. She was a gifted poet & everyone enjoyed her contributions of delightful poems in the monthly newsletter. In the year 2008, she had composed an "Ode to Barbrae". I have it framed, hanging on my wall & will treasure it always! Bobie was amazing lady & legacy that made our lives a brighter & better place. She was a very special friend that was filled with a fun-loving spirit. I will miss her very much! God Bless! Barbrae Dante Seattle, Washington

I had the pleasure of working with Bobie at BECU for years and have many wondeful memories of her - most including laughter! She was a wonderful person; to know her was to love her. She was an angel on earth and she sits with them now. My heart and prayers are with her family.

Celebrating a life well lived. I remember Bobie from my youth. She was a kind and caring "friend's mom" who always welcomed you into her house. I will never forget her aqua kitchen appliances - they were so hip!
My deepest sympathies go out to Dale, Sharon, Janet, Mike and Connie and all your loved ones - from our family to yours.
