Ms. Bobby was a longtime member of New Life Baptist Church and the Red Hat Society of Nashville. She retired from Bellsouth and involved much of her spare time to missionary work, locally and internationally. Her missionary work with “Samaritan Purse Shoeboxes”, “Women on Missions” and Native American charities was enormous. Ms. Bobby had a giving nature and a benevolent character. In her youth, you could find Bobby on the basketball court. She loved animals, nature and spending time with her family. Ms. Bobby will be dearly missed but her memory will live in our hearts forever.
