Read MoreMiss Finley was a good and caring teacher. She was always fair and worked hard to give us the support and attention we needed. She was our class advisor and one of my favorite teachers in Jr. High and then High School.

Miss Finley is definately one of the great teachers at Tuslaw High. She has touched so many of us in a positive way. I only hope that she knew this before her passing. She will be sadly missed by all that loved her.

I was so saddened to learn of Bobbi's death. I last saw her in January when she honored a cousin who had just died. I still see her driving away in that beautiful red Mustang and thought she's gotten to do things she has wanted to do. She was always kind and I know those who loved her will miss her! Special condolences to Mary~a longtime friend.

A lady with a warm heart. She always made me feel welcome and invited me to sit by her when I came to dulicimer group. We was very kind to those that could not play as well as the majority.

Ms. Finley was a very nice lady and a dedicated teacher. I remember that she encouraged my 60's spirit and spawned my lifelong interest in genealogy (via a class assignment). My deepest sympathies to all who loved her.

I had Roberta as a teacher way back in 1965/66. I have fond memories of that class, and she taught me a lot. My condolences to the family.
