Bobbie was born in Toledo, Ohio, and grew up in a blended family that included eight rambunctious children. More often than not, Bobbie was known as the ringleader if there was trouble afoot.
When Bobbie was young, she visited a friend in Las Vegas. Rather than heading home at the end of her stay, she called her brother and asked him to pack up her things and send them to the place that she would call home for the rest of her life.
In true Bobbie fashion, she thrived in the casino industry. She shined as Head Cocktail Waitress at the Golden Nugget, as a union dispatcher for the casinos, and as Head Bell Captain at the Monte Carlo. She never forgot to help those around her to shine as well. So many of the friends that she made during her career have called her “Mom” because they found comfort, laughter, and encouragement in her light.
Bobbie loved anything BTS, Trader Joe’s, and anything that sparkled. She especially cherished the nights that she spent watching “The Masked Singer” with her dear friends, Brad and Lori Rich.
The family would like to thank Henderson Hospital and Nathan Adelson Hospice for their care and concern during Bobbie’s final days.
She is survived by sisters Virginia Leininger and Rita Mockensturm; brother George Kanfield, numerous nieces, nephews; and by all her many, many friends in Las Vegas, who she held as close as family.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Jimmy Dugan; her parents Romy, Virginia, and Adeline Kanfield; her sister Donna White; and brothers, Jim, David, and Dennis Kanfield.
She will be missed by so many…
