Roberta Passalacqua Obituary
Roberta "Bobbi" Passalacqua, age 81, passed away peacefully in the night, surrounded by family, friends and loved ones, in Norton Shores, Michigan, on Thursday, August 24, 2023, from a rare vaginal cancer.
Bobbi was born on August 22, 1942, in Edmore, Michigan, to William and Olive (Davenport) Mallory. Bobbi worked for 30 years as a postal technician for USPS in Las Vegas, retiring in 2009. Bobbi absolutely loved to read and was deeply involved in multiple book clubs, including the Sandalwood Shores book club, the Woodland Ridge book club, and the Spring Lake Library book club that she founded. She had a gifted mind, and her I.Q. met the standards to join the Mensa International Society. She enjoyed sewing and her cats, and was known to enjoy a glass of Vouvre wine.
Bobbi had a very strong faith that carried her through her life, and she was a longtime member of Spring Lake Presbyterian Church, where she participated in the Bible study and the reading circle, and served as a deacon and volunteered in the food pantry.
She will be lovingly remembered by her three children: Melanie (Greg Zuhoski) McEvoy, Michael McEvoy and Patrick (Vanessa) McEvoy; two grandchildren, Marissa and Chayse McEvoy; four siblings: Judi (Gary) Mallory Sabo, Bill (Marvel) Mallory, Denny Mallory and Brian (Carolina) Mallory; brother-in-law, Jay Wright; and four nieces. She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Olive Mallory; sister, Patricia Wright; and husband, Jack Passalacqua.
A Memorial Service will be held for Bobbi at 11 a.m. Saturday, September 23, 2023, at Spring Lake Presbyterian Church. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a memorial contribution to Spring Lake Presbyterian Church.
