Bobbi Goettling Quiring

Bobbi (Goettling) Quiring was born in Portland, OR to Robert Goettling and Donna Carpenter. She was the middle of three girls. Bobbi lived in the Vancouver, WA area until she was three years old when she moved to Keizer, OR.
In the 1970s, Bobbi started attending Salem Alliance Church where she later met her husband, Duane Quiring. Bobbi graduated from McNary High School in 1973. She then went to George Fox University for one year to take as many bible classes as possible. She had no plans to graduate. Her dream was to be a wife and mom someday.
Bobbi started her career working in a law office for Brad Coleman. She later moved on to working for Howell-Edwards-Doerksen Funeral Home in 1979. Bobbi worked there until 1999 when she opened her own bookkeeping business, Integrity Accounting. She continued to work up until her death.
Bobbi was especially gifted in making those around her feel comfortable, constantly putting herself ahead of others. Her gift of hospitality will be greatly missed. We will feel the loss of her sassy, witty interchanges filled with humor, especially the sons-in-law.
Bobbi loved spending time with her family and friends. During Covid, Duane and Bobbi joined a fellowship group that met every couple of weeks for food, fellowship and laughter. She also enjoyed meeting regularly with her knitting group (even though she crochets) and with her lunch ladies. Bobbi enjoyed sewing and spending time with her kids and grandkids. Her presence with her family and friends will be greatly missed.
Bobbi is survived by her loving husband, Duane, and her three daughters: Amy (John), Nicole (Brian) and April. She is also survived by her adorable grandchildren: Colton (14), Reese (13), Wyatt (9), Bennett (7), Mari (6), Ethan (3), Elliott (2) and Baby Boy (May 2025).
Our family is comforted by the fact that she is finally pain free, with Jesus, her family and still snuggling/rocking grandbabies in heaven.
Bobbi's Celebration of Life will be on December 6, 2024 at 10:00 am at Salem Alliance Church.
