Barbara "Bobbie" Templeton, age 89, passed away peacefully on March 23, 2026, with her loving family at her side. She was born on March 3, 1937, in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Bobbie spent many years working in various office roles with several companies. Upon her retirement, she celebrated with a memorable trip to Ireland.

A wise, soft-spoken, and peaceful soul, Bobbie never had a bad word to say about anyone. Devoted to her family and faith. She was happiest when surrounded by those she loved. She cherished vacations with her kids to the Jersey Shore, camping at Otter Lake, and trips to the ocean in Florida. She enjoyed music and dancing, as well as a good card game. She loved life's simple pleasures like her fabulous breakfasts or a Boston cream donut. Everyone enjoyed her potato salad but everyone loved her deviled eggs!
