My heart goes out to Bobbie's family and especially to her children (of whom she was SO proud). Your Mom taught both of my boys when they attended DeSoto school. She was a stickler for the rules, and let it be known early on that she was not a "push over". Hank and Wally King respected her and enjoyed the classes that she taught. She was always dignified and straight forward with any and all contact that I had with her.

Dearest Marla and Family,
Was so saddened to hear of the loss of your sweet Mama. I know that she was a very special lady who loved her children, her husband, her church, her family and all the other children that were Blessed by her teaching. My prayer is that the Lord will wrap His loving arms around each of you at this most difficult time and give you all the love, strength, compassion and courage that you will need to sustain you over the coming days, minutes, hours and weeks, months and years. Hold to those Precious Memories as I know you all have many of them and know that your Sweet Mama is enjoying her Crown and Mansion in Heaven with Jesus and she will be waiting on all of you to join her one day when Jesus calls you all Home. Love and prayers Barbara

Bobbie was a fantastic educator ,wife. and mother. with all those attributes she influenced all who were fortunate to know her and have her as a teacher. Our school was such a great facility because of her devoted care. Lamar as our Hospital pharmacist was Helena Hospital's greatest asset. Jim, Diane, Marla, Caren & Adam Mayer
