Mom was born and raised in Tuscaloosa by loving grandmother and great aunt. She attended Tuscaloosa City Schools and First Baptist Church. After graduating from Tuscaloosa City High School she attended Holy Name of Jesus School of Nursing in Gadsden, Ala. She left nursing school to marry and start a family. She carried a heart of service throughout her life and cared for her family raising six children. Mom cared for grandchildren and great-grandchildren well into her 80's being a selfless person all of her life. Mom served her Lord all of her life working in various capacities in the church and volunteering at the Tuscaloosa Christian Service Ministry was an important part of her later years. There was a precious homecoming in heaven Saturday morning, when she was reunited with lots of loved ones.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Tuscaloosa Christian Service Ministry, Hospice of West Alabama and East McFarland Baptist Church Building Fund.

I remember Bobbie as my GA leader at Stone Memorial Baptist Church many years ago. She was just a young lady at the time and I was beginning my teen years. Bobbie was a loving , caring ,and strong christian and was a enfluence to many young girls. The first time I heard about Pralines (candy) Bobbie had us girls at her house showing us how to make them. She loved serving the Lord in many capacities. Fond memories are precious remembering this lady. Condolences to her family.
