Bobbie passed in 2011 , not 2001 . Would love information from the people that provided this information. Bobbie was a direct family member of mine. I am Bertha Carrol’s oldest great granddaughter.
Thank you for correcting the typo in her death date. I’ll make the change. I am responsible for the content of each post. The information here was derived from census and other records available online.
