She was a long-time resident of Philippi, West Virginia, but relocated to Beverly, West Virginia, in 2008. At the time of her death, she was residing with her daughter, Lisa (Bert), in Buckhannon in Hospice Care.

Bobbie attended the Catholic schools at Grafton and Wheeling, was a long-time employee with G.C. Murphy Company in Philippi till their closure, then she was employed with Green Acres Tack and Western Wear, The Philippi IGA, and The Heart and Hand House. She had her own craft shop “Mother Hubbards Cupboard,” where she sold lovely wreaths, ornaments, flower arrangements, and many other handmade treasures.

Bobbie was a very active member of Grace Episcopal Church in Elkins, serving in any capacity that was needed.

Bobbie was a people person, and just loved her friends and family, shopping, thrifting, yard sales, reading and working puzzles. She was always thrilled when she found a special treasure for anyone that was close to her and had her Christmas presents bought months in advance.

She loved crocheting toboggans for not only the homeless, but for a special mission her church did every year.

Bobbie will be missed by everyone who knew her, she was so loved.

“GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN. WELL DONE THY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.”
