Elizabeth Barbara "Bessie" Cherry McBroom
Dec. 6, 1888-Jan. 20, 1968
A dedicated member of the DAR, "Bessie" died (age 79) from the effects of type-2 diabetes while in the care of her daughter, Virginia, in Mobile, AL. As a devoted mother and grandmother, she made every effort to socialize with family and friends at gatherings and during reunions. Activities were often enriched by games-- often of her own recollection. Her favorite board game was checkers, where she was strict to enforce the rules on mandatory jumping. Being impatient, she would "peek" her Christmas gifts before Christmas Day; then cover-up the evidence. Her favorite sport was fishing, where she would row her boat "Nana" (also the name given to their grandmother by her grandchildren) into Mobile Bay to fish for speckled trout. She assisted her husband in his business as a realtor, and enjoyed gathering with family on Mardi Gras day to view the parades from their business office (located on the second floor) on Royal Street in Mobile, AL. She would whoop with laughter when most entertained during the celebrations. As a member of the church choir, she encouraged others to join in the service. She was survived by her husband, plus four children, who provided many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her remains are now buried next to her husband's remains at Pine Crest Cemetery in Mobile, AL.
