Bobbi was the oldest child born to Annie Nancy Manson McNee (Portinga) and John Robert Portinga in Ayr, Scotland. Bobbi ,her mother and brother came to the United States on the Queen Mary after World War II. Her family first moved to Willmar, Minnesota and later settled in Edina, Minnesota permanently. She had a love of life in general and a love for GOD that was set in her at a very young age.
Bobbi was a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a Sister, a friend, and a mentor during her life. She was happiest when she was with her beloved husband, Bob of 54 ½ years at her side.
Bobbi is survived by not only her husband Bob, but their daughter; Juli, granddaughter; Marqui, grandson Christian; brother; John McNee Portinga, and sisters; Charlotte Pittman; June Nelson; and Andrea Nelson. Also, her Sister-in-law Karen Anderson Strack and her three sons: Jimmy, Mark and Paul.
A Celebration of Bobbi’s life will be held at Chapel of the Chimes Mortuary 5925 N. 59th Ave. Glendale, Az. 85301. It will be at 10:00am with a gathering to follow.
We are thankful she was ours to love and look forward to our Reunion in Heaven.
