So very sorry for your loss. She was a lovely
lady and a kind and generous human being.
I served on the County Commission from 1982 thru 1990. Bobbye was a great help to me. Anytime I ran into a financial problem I didn't understand, I called on her. When I left her office, I understood.She was a dedicated servant to Washington County.She will be missed by her family and her many friends.
