Roberta (Bobbie) Joyce Powell

I´m shocked and saddened to hear of Bobbie´s passing. She was one of my first friends when my family moved to Noulder Hill and I started 7th grade at Oswego Jr High, in the old red brick school. We graduated together from Oswego High in 1967. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.

We first met at Harvest Chapel in 1989. Our youngest, Bradley was 2 years old and had never been in a nursery. Even though we were new to the church, I felt so comfortable leaving him with Bobble. I knew he was in good hands. More recently when Brad´s baby boy was in the hospital, Bobbie´s heartfelt prayers surely touched heaven for him. I am eternally grateful. Her love and support at that time meant the world.

The Bible studies we had in Bobbie and Gaylon´s home will be part of me forever. I so enjoyed the lunches we had together after I moved away and came back to visit; we could talk for hours. She was a true treasure.

I think I met Bobby way back in the early 1990's either at a bible study with Judy McIntyre or at the Plano Vineyard and then she and Galen had a bible study at their house.
Such great times as friends and rich fellowship in the Lord . Bobby was always overflowing with love and compassion and are both dog lovers so that just added to it. Bobby were very generous people and it was a privilege to count them as friends.
Continuing prayers Galen and for the family. And Bobby enjoy your new home we will meet you there !
So sorry I can't attend the celebration of Bobbies life . I'm 6 hrs away now .

melodie clark and i enjoyed being neighbors with roberta and gaylon and watching her out with her dogs......she will be missed..... thoughts and prayers to the rest of the family.......

Bobbie was a devoted Mom and Grandma, they were her world. She will be deeply missed but she gave her all for sure. Our prayers for Gaylon and family as you walk through this next season of life. I know Bobbie is cheering you all on from Heaven.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all! I will always remember making crafts and doll house food. McDonald´s ice cream runs, and watching Michael W. Smith "Secret Ambition " video! Thank you for introducing me to contemporary Christian music! It has been a important constant in my life. I daily reminder to keep my eyes on Jesus. May He bring you peace as you mourn Bobbie.

We are sending our love to you all from Florida. She is with the Lord.

Bobbie and I met on a weight loss board many moons ago (near 30) though we only met in person once she fast became the glue that held our group together. Such a precious soul like hers is rare and shall be missed.

Bobbie & I spent countless hours together over coffee, breakfast or lunch. We talked non stop for hours on each occasion. She was always there for me through out my life. She was my Godmother & we grew an incredible friendship as I grew up. She lead me to Jesus, which had an incredible impact on who I am today.
She was present for both my baby christening & my baptism in March of this year. She was the best listener & hugger. I will honor & cherish her all of my days until we meet again.
I love you Bobbie, rest with your Heavenly Father, I will hug you again someday. Your loving God daughter, Wendy

I´ll treasure the times we sat on the swing and Cam & Shelly´s porch talking about life and our Grandchildren.
Enjoyed the times when the Papa´s & Nana´s were together sharing our Grandchildren and Izzy.
Continue prayers & love to all of you.

Bobbi was one of the most loving, giving, and caring persons I've ever known. She will be missed, but we will see her again in heaven!
