Together they owned and operated Bobbie’s Burger Patch. After a few years of service they changed locations and renamed their restaurant Country Plate Diner. They served together for many years before retiring. As Bobbie approached retirement she began another career as an Avon representative. During this time she won several awards and made even more friends. Bobbie was a strong Christian and it was evident in her daily life. She was a member of Trinity Church and the Prime Timers Sunday school class.
