I never had the pleasure of meeting Bobbie face to face, but as a co-worker and in my numerous telephone conversations, I found Bobbie to be more than just a co-worker;  She was a pillar of support, a source of inspiration, and a true team player.   Bobbie had an infectious enthusiasm and boundless energy made every negative issue easy to face.  She created an atmosphere of camaraderie that enriched our work environment.

Bobbie possessed a unique knack for problem-solving, always approaching obstacles with an open mind and a determination that served as encouragement for myself as well as my co-workers.  Her  strong work ethic and willingness to go the extra mile set a standard that we can all aspire to emulate.

Bobbie's  infectious laughter, genuine interest in others, had a willingness to lend a listening ear.  She created bonds that will be cherished forever. Bobbie had an uncanny ability to make those around them feel valued, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the privilege to know her.

I will truly miss you Bobbie!

I have had the great fortune to have known Bobbie personally and professionally for the past 13 years, and in this time, came to see her as a brilliant mind, consummate professional, and dear friend. We met after both of us retired from DEA; we never knew each other during those years but I’ve learned of Bobbie’s reputation as a go-to contracting officer who always found the means to procure whatever the busy proactive agency needed.  Bobbie thrived in this fast-paced world, and her incredible breadth of knowledge coupled with her natural, West Virginia horse sense, made her a one-of-a-kind professional. As we both pursued after retirement careers in government contracting, we began working together in a several different ventures where I watched Bobbie share her incredible knowledge with others.  In 2016, my daughter and I decided to start up our own government contracting firm, Bobbie stepped in to help and lead our business as our valued Senior VP. Our daily conversations centered around work but came to include our personal lives. She would share how her very beloved family was doing, her long weekend getaways with her husband Bob through different venues of Virginia’s countryside, visits with friends and relatives, summer vacations at Topsail, and what was new in the life of her granddaughter Leona, whom she adored. When my own first granddaughter arrived, Bobbie spoiled her with gifts and patiently looked at the hundreds of photos I shared with her. 

In my final conversations with Bobbie, I know she was at peace, she was stoic, and she was resolved about her ascent to Heaven. For me, I wanted my best friend to fight on, as the world needed Bobbie Revell. Her passing leaves an emptiness with all that knew and loved her, but I am grateful for the time our worlds overlapped and the friendship that came from it. Bobbie, I will miss you my friend and know you are greeted by the open arms of our heavenly Father in Heaven.
