Bobbi was a proud graduate of Philadelphia General Hospital School of Nursing. Her nursing career spanned 41 years. She worked as a psychiatric nurse and nurse supervisor. In 1977, she started school nursing. As a school nurse, Bobbi was always an advocate for the students and families. She especially loved working with the students with special and physical needs.

Bobbi was the beloved wife of the late Edward J. Pollock. They were married for 31 years. She was the cherished mother and best friend of daughter Kathi Pollock.

Bobbi was a strong and spiritual woman. Faith and prayer were very important. She would often tell her worrying daughter to "Lift it up and let it go!" She knew God was always with us. Bobbi was a caring and generous woman. She loved animals especially dogs. Her MissyMoo is missing her. She was an avid reader and enjoyed shopping and traveling. We have shared some great road trips and trips to Disney.
