Prayers to the family of Bobbie. I had her for a first grade teacher and she was definitely one of my favorites. She also lived in my neighborhood so I got to see her outside of school too! Such a classy lady!

Dear Kim, Tami, Lance - so sorry to hear of your mom's passing, please accept my condolences and prayers! Your mom was a favorite of our family when we visited at Bethel these past years. She always was happy to visit and always had a funny little saying and a big laugh to follow! Even the colors of her clothing and a pretty necklace to match were cheerful! She will be missed by so many. God's comfort and peace to your families.

Bobbie was my Neighbor for many years and became part of my family. My son Donnie was often over to play her piano. He never left empty-handed always coming home with a treat and a story to tell......prayers to the family

She was a very nice lady and great teacher, although I attended Lewis and Clark,I didn’t actually have her for first grade, my younger brother did but she always remembered me by name even 45 years later.. Rest In Peace Bobbie!

Kim, Tammy, Lance & Families- I got to know Bobbie when she led our fledgling choir at St. Peter’s Church. She was so upbeat and enthusiastic, she made us sound great! She was an inspiration to alI. I extend my sincere sympathies to you for her loss. But my guess is that she is happily singing in heaven! She was the best.

Tami, Kim and Lance, my heartfelt condolences as you celebrate your mother's life. I got to know Bobbie while working at Lewis and Clark School. She never had difficulty with her classes because she commanded respect, even when challenged with some real hooligans! I know she changed so many lives as a teacher, director, friend and lover of children. May she rest in eternal peace. Jean

Kim, Tammi and Lance, Our sympathy to you all. I have such fun memories of your mom being my Mom's traveling partner on their adventures visiting us when we lived back in the Washington, DC area. What a blessing it was to have her along keeping my Mom from getting lost! I always enjoyed visiting with her at Bethel also. May God hold you in His hands and give you peace knowing you will see her again.

There is an empty spot without Bobbie at Bethel-always a complimentary thing to say. One day I was trying to find her, and there she was, kneeling beside her bed talking to Jesus.

Had her as a substitute teacher many times over the years in school. She recognized my name and told me her and my grandmother had went to school together. She will be missed very much. RIP MRS BETHKE

To the family and friends of Bobbi: I send my deepest sympathy to all. Bobbi was agood-hearted, fun loving Lady. I met her at the Senior Center. I was impressed by her. She was so pretty. And I loved that she drove herself (as many folks that came to the Senior Center rode the bus). She was so darn cute in her little red car.
I'm grateful to have known such a fascinating woman. May our loving God be with you all at this time.
