Bobbie Long Obituary

Bobbie Jo Long, age 54, left this earthly world on July 26, 2025, to meet our Lord. She leaves behind her husband, Billy, sons Judd, John and Willie; grandson Maddox and his mother Emily; mother and father Karen and Bob Judson, William and Janet Long, many aunts, uncles and cousins and very special friends, Dave and Linda Gorrell. Bobbie was born February 5, 1971, and lived in Diamond, Indiana her entire life. She graduated from Riverton Park High School and Indiana State University. She home schooled her sons. Bobbie loved animals and she especially loved her blind dog, Axel. She attended seminars at St Mary-of-the-Woods and Mt St Francis learning how to meditate, journal, paint and draw. Bobbie was a member of St Benedict parish in Terre Haute and participated in many programs and events. She loved to travel and took many short trips with friends and family and was always planning ahead for a trip to "somewhere"! Bobbie will be remembered as always smiling. She would want you to celebrate her life with a smile on your face. Please join us at St Benedict Parish, 111 S 9th St, Terre Haute on Saturday, August 9th. Visitation will be from 10:00 – 11:45 a.m., a rosary at 11:45 and Mass at noon. Internment will be at Calvary Cemetery. DeBaun Funeral Home was entrusted with arrangements.

Bobbie was a faith filled woman. She stayed with us one overnight and we had a chance to share personal stories and share our spiritual journey. She was as natural and comfortable as anyone could be. I will always treasure that special evening with her.
Her poor body went through so much trauma, but she never complained. She accepted her health as it was and kept her God close. She loved her family and was so grateful for them as well as her church family. She was an inspiration to many of us who were blessed to know her. Her spirit lives on.
