She was talented in many ways and enjoyed her hobbies of knitting or crocheting beautiful creations, fishing, decorating, and painting her home, gardening, and cooking.

She and Dan loved to prepare delicious meals for family and friends and they even did a lot of canning from their garden. They both played co-ed softball with friends as Bobbie learned to love the sport when she played it every summer from kindergarten through high school.
She was a member of Christ Lutheran Church, served on the Board of Kings Kids Daycare, For the Girls, and the American Heart Association.

In 2017 she was awarded the Laura Gross Award from Faith Regional Health Services for doing her job with the upmost kindness and caring.
