Bobbie was born September 27, 1942, in Wesson, Mississippi, the daughter of the late John Daniel Touchstone and Verna Rosa Blackmon Touchstone. Due to economic and geographic limitations Bobbie was not afforded an opportunity for higher education but she had a lifelong desire for learning. Self-taught through life experience she became an avid reader and expert at crossword puzzles.
A gifted seamstress Bobbie was employed for many years with Mississippi Stage Equipment. Her skills in sewing and crochet carried over into many other crafting arenas and her hand-sewn doll clothing was in great demand.
Bobbie enjoyed a second career as a truck driver. Along with her late husband they drove across the U.S. as a driving team for L.E. Tucker Trucking.
She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Jimmy and Tammy Craft; and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
