My fondest memories of Bobbie were when she did my Mother's hair when I was growing up. Her shop was in front of her home and the Coke machine was on the porch. She was a very dear lady and friend. I had not seen Bobbie in a few years, but she always remembered me. She will always have a place in my heart. Rest, dear friend. Have a blast with Hazel in heaven!
I have found memories of Bobbie when we lived in Leachville 1961-1971. It was always a pleasure to go to her shop.
I took my daughter, Jodie, in her stroller with me.
You have my deepest sympathy.
