She was an avid golfer and won championships at Lakewood Country Club and Cedar Creek Lake Country Club. Bobbie loved playing games with friends, especially poker and bridge which she played every week until a few months ago. She enjoyed bowling as well and was on a bowling league as young as 17. Bobbie was legally blind more than half her life, but she had an amazing ability to see everything and was not slowed down by her disability. She was blessed with good friends over her years, especially Jo and Peggy, who called themselves the three musketeers with gray hair.
