During this time, Bobbie taught in Seabrook TX and Los Alamos NM while also teaching private lessons in violin and piano and serving as backup organist at church.

Our sincere condolences to the family on the loss of Bobbie. She will be missed by you all and by us.
Mrs. Bobbie was such a sweet, sweet soul. She welcomed our family when we started attending Christus Victor and helped it feel like home for us. She will be missed. My prayers for peace and comfort are with all of Mrs. Bobbie’s family.
This sweet lady stepped in when my mother died ( I am Marys sister) and became our mom. When I moved back to Texas I started calling her almost ever week for 20 years. She has been there for me, comforted me, laughed with me. I am going to miss you so much Bobbie. I couldnt make it down to the funeral, as I am in Pennsylvania right now. I will be watching the funeral and know that Bobbie is in Heavan with Calder, looking their absolutely best thinking about all of us. I love you and miss you. You have been a special part of my life.
Bobbie gifted us with a true legacy of love.
She served our Father God daily in both the word and in spirit and she loved unconditionally. She enriched the lives of all her family and friends and she made just the world more beautiful.
We will remember her always with thanks and adoration.
I just read of Bobbies passing. What a legacy and so glad she had layered my life when I was young at HOP. Seeing her again a couple of years ago was so precious. She and Calder always sent us a Christmas card which I cherished comfort and Peace to the Gibson family.
