The family would like to thank Canyons Home Care and Hospice for the care and compassion that they showed to her, and to the staff of the Ridge Assisted Living on Foothill for the kindness and love that they gave to our mother. “Those who knew her, knew what she did. Those who did not know her, don’t care”.

I was sorry to learn of Bobbie's death.
I know that she was ready, as the last time I spoke with her, she told me that she had lived too long.
I feel fortunate to have known her and to have served on the Utah P.E.O. state board with her.
She was a special woman and set a good example of sisterhood and leadership.
