Barbara Walsh Obituary
Bobbie worked for the Jamestown Yorktown Foundation for over 20 years. She enjoyed meeting and greeting visitors who came to these historical venues. In her spare time, she loved to travel, go to the YMCA, and be outdoors enjoying the water – swimming, sunning, boating. Bobbie was a wonderful and loving wife, mother, and grandmother who enjoyed being with her children and grandchildren, sharing their experiences and watching them grow, and loved relaxing with her husband on a peaceful, quiet evening.
She is survived by her loving husband of 50 years, William John Walsh III; daughter, Martinee Walsh Avery (Shawn) of Poquoson; sons, William John Walsh IV of Hampton and James Brannon Walsh (Nishana) of Arlington; grandchildren, Taylor, Riley, Jack, Betsy, and Asha; and sister, Glinda Bowry Walker (Richard).
The family will have a memorial mass at 1:00 on Thursday afternoon, January 26, at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, 315 Harris Grove Lane, Yorktown, VA 23692. They will receive friends in the commons area of the church immediately following the mass.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Virginia Peninsula Foodbank, 2401 Aluminum Avenue, Hampton, VA 23661. Online contributions may be offered at www.hrfoodbank.org. Arrangements by Amory Funeral Home, Grafton, Va.

My sympathy goes out to the family members of Bobbie. I was in Sunday school with Bobbie when we were very young girls. I remember her so clearly as such a kind person, and fun to be with. I smiled when I saw her current photo, she is easy to recognize, so lovely.
May you find peace and comfort in the memories and days ahead.
