Bobbie Aline Padilla

1936 - 2017

November 9, 1936 - January 20, 2017
Bobbie Aline Padilla, 80, of San Antonio, passed away gently at home with family by her side on Friday, January 20, 2017. She was born November 9, 1936 to the late Robert Benjamin and Vida Aline Condra, Sr. She is survived by 2 siblings, Earl Wayne Condra Sr. and Robert "Bubba" Benjamin Condra, Jr.
She was predeceased by 1 sibling, Bertie Mae Sciaraffa. She was also predeceased by her loving husband, Santos H. Padilla.

She was a graduate and cheerleader of Burbank High School and was owner of a local family restaurant on the south side of San Antonio known as Bobbie's Café. Through her entrepreneurial aspirations, attention to detail, and insistence that hard work equals success, she was a community leader that made a difference to the world she left behind. More than that, she was looked upon by many as an admirable and trustworthy friend. Bobbie was the epitome of what it means to be "good people". She didn't know a stranger and often did without to ensure that her employees and customers had what they needed to make their lives easier. At home, she loved to spend quality time with her family: gardening, making floral arrangements, planning trips to the casino, whipping up her favorite recipes, or swimming without getting her hair wet were just a few of her favorite pastimes.

Her biggest contribution to this world was through her devoted nature to her children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. She was strong-willed but sought the importance of kindness, joy, and good humor. Between her quick wit, charming smile, and supportive nature, she was the best mother to all whom she took under her wing. She is survived by her 4 children and 1 stepdaughter, Gerald K. Ferris, Jr. and wife Margaret, Randy A. Ferris and wife Nancy, David R. Ferris, Jessica P. Acosta and husband Luis, and Christina Padilla. She is survived by 10 grandchildren, Kelly and wife Amy, Greg and wife Ana, Jeff and wife Melodie, Amanda and husband Austin, Matthew, Pamela and husband George, Alexander, Austen, Addison, and Avery.
She is also survived by 11 great-grandchildren.

Funeral Services will be provided on Tuesday, January 24, 2017 at 1 p.m. at Mission Park Funeral Chapels South with Pastor Mike Sutton officiating.
