Bobbie worked for many years as a retail service manager while raising her sons as a single mom before retiring. She not only loved her own family deeply, but also her wife’s extended family, father-in-law Bill Henry, sister-in-law Kim Henry, and brother-in-law Joe Henry, who meant the world to her. During her retirement, she enjoyed feeding and watching her birds, watching crime television and Judge Judy, vacationing with her wife Missy to the seacoast of New Hampshire and many trips to Pennsylvania.
Bobbie and Missy were in a loving marriage and relationship for more than 20 years and she was affectionately known as Ace by Missy. And if you knew Bobbie, you know that she never went anywhere without her diet coke. It was with her at home, vacations, parties, even in the hospital.
Bobbie’s family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all the wonderful doctors and nurses who took care of her.
There will be a celebration of life to be announced at a later date.
