Barbara was a wonderful lady, she taught my granddaughter piano for a while and it was a great experience for her. She will be missed by all of her friends and neighbors.

Bobbi was such a great example for all of us to follow. She was a kind, independent and a classy dresser. I marveled at her golf skills at her age. May she rest in peace.

I just recently meet Bobbie while playing golf at Creekmoor. She was the sweetest lady and I admired the fact that she was still playing golf at her age. My condolences to her family.

Bobbi was such a talented lady! Loved golfing with her at Lakewood and Creekmoor. She had a unique step getting to her ball. It was so her! She always hit it straight down the fairway. Enjoyed listening to her play the piano, playing cards and marjongg. She enjoyed life to the fullest!!!

Met Bobbi several years ago playing golf at Creekmoor. She was always ready to play a round, and she got where she couldn’t hit the ball as far as she used to to, but always right up the middle. One very Classy Lady. Rest in Peace Bobbi!
