Bobbie Lee Passons

Bobbie was a long-time member of Second Baptist Church of Dallas, TX, and Dr. Robert W. Shehane will be officiating her funeral services.

She worked at Fidelity Insurance, and also as a doctor’s assistant for many years at Lakewood Medical Center.

Her true career, however, was as a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Bobbie loved playing games with friends and family. She was especially fond of Scrabble and Words With Friends. She also loved planting flowers, enjoying the beauty of nature, and the joy of watching them grow under her care.

Bobbie was preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth Douglas Passons, Sr.; parents, William Morgan and Ellen Evaden Smith; and sister, Willie Jane Lowe.

She is survived by her daughter, Barbara K. O’Bannon; sons, Charles Williams and Kenneth D. Passons, Jr.; grandchildren, Shannon O’Bannon Fothergill, Colleen O’Bannon Day, and Sky Carrie Passons-Reid; great-grandchildren, Preston Day, Cole Douglas Fothergill, Madison Day, Kolten Reid, Kaleb Reid, Julianne Williams, and Jonathan Williams; as well as many extended family members and friends.

Visitation was held Saturday, November 7, 2015 from 9:00 to 2:00 P.M., with the family greeting friends from noon to 2:00 P.M.

Funeral Services began at 2:00 P.M., all at Grove Hill Funeral Home. Interment followed at Grove Hill Memorial Park.

A poem written by Preston Day, for his Great-Grandmother:

Grandmother, oh, Grandmother,

A divine lady is she,

If grace ages with time,

time is amongst thee.

Grandmother is a special lady,

That is most certain,

If anyone were to hurt her,

I'd make sure the were a hurtin'.

Elegant, thoughtful, pure,

Few of infinite words,

That describe her,

For sure.

Thankfully I know her,

Thankfully she knows me,

Grandmother is a treasure,

Because thine beauty shed upon me.
