Bobby Jean was a native South Carolinian who lived throughout the Southern US and Cuba with her parents. With her husband Jimmy, Bobby Jean lived in several US locations, as well as Germany. Bobby Jean was well –read and a lover of crossword puzzles. She was always “on the go” as a humorously unique and loving character. She had kind words, smiles, and love for all who came in contact with her, and her outstretched arms always invited a hug. Bobby Jean’s grandchildren and great grandchildren lovingly called their Grandmother “Bobbi” which is what she was affectionately called by her husband Jimmy and many others. Bobby Jean simply called most everyone “darling”. The family is especially appreciative of the loving care afforded to Bobby Jean from her friends at Valley Falls Terrace, Spartanburg SC, Bobby Jean’s last home. Deep gratitude and thanks to all the staff at Valley Falls with special love, thoughts and prayers for Sheila Jackson and Kathy Pilgrim, who helped Bobby Jean in so many ways each day, as did all Valley Falls staff and residents. Graveside services will be held on Friday October 3, 2014, 1:00PM, at Bethlehem Cemetery in Coronaca, South Carolina. In lieu of flowers, please make memorials to the Alzheimer’s Association, 901 S. Pine Street, Spartanburg, SC 29302. Online condolences may be made at www.thewoodmortuary.com
