Bobbie was a resident of Des Plaines for 64 years.

She was proceeded in death by her husband, the love of her life, Frank. Her parents Jerry and Pat Luster and in-laws Frank and Florence Porcaro.

Bobbie attended Providence High School, after high school she went to Quincy College for a year, then to cosmetology school. She worked part-time as a beautician and part-time as a waitress, as well as working at General Telephone Electric. During all this she was a wonderful wife and mother. Her family was her everything. When her three granddaughters were born, she was always there to help. Then she became a Nonna G (great-grandma) to 6 great-grandsons. Bobbie would say she was truly blessed. The love of her life was Frank. They were inseparable since she was 15. They are now together forever. Bobbie will be missed by her family and friends.
