Bobbie McKeller Obituary
After college, Bobbie settled with her lifelong husband Bill in Athens, GA, where she taught French at UGA and raised her family. As her children got older, she moved to Athens Academy where she taught French for several years. In 1982, Bobbie retired from teaching and joined Coldwell Banker Upchurch Realty, where she was one of the top selling small-market real estate agents in the state during her 33-year career. Through her career, Bobbie served as a generous colleague and mentor for numerous Upchurch agents. Over the years, she was very active in the Athens community, involved in Rotary Club and League of Women voters.
Bobbie is survived by her children: Jennifer, Michael, and Mark; grandchildren: Macy and Evan; and her brother, Lamar.
A celebration of Bobbie's life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, August 4, at The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, 2450 S. Milledge Avenue, Athens, GA 30605.
