We have known Bobby for many years,for the past 10 years she has been a member of the Diamond Redhat group out of La Crosse, WI also Jim and Bobby members of the Shamrock Club, and Irishfest for more years then I can remember. The Shamrock Club since she was at Onalaska Nursing home have gathered there for a program, always having her present to enjoy St Patricks Day with all of us. Both Jim and Bobby were always active members of the Shamrock Club and enjoyed friendships among the members.
Bobby was a good friend to her redhat sisters and she will be greatly missed by all. We all will miss her gentleness and her warm smiles.
From Victoria Hampe, Diamond Redhat Queenmum, redhat sister to Bobby, and from all her friends

We all love your mom/grandmother.
She was so much fun in our group of "girls", and always smiling even in her most painful times. ....She "hated" hats, and said so, but she always wore her cute little red vintage '50s hat with a little veil and smiled beautifully through it all because "that's what we do".
We have many pictures of her as our Red Hat sister, and will fondly smile with her as we recall "day trips" to Mall of America, ride in a limousine with wine and chocolate covered strawberries to Rochester, MN for a private professional dance lesson and dinner at Michaels, trips to dinner theater, many shopping outings, and Tuesday night movies after pizza, Christmas parties.... and yes, how much we enjoyed the Bar-b-ques each summer on the open deck of their Condo with "chef" Jim, at the grill as we talked, laughed, and watched the river roll by.
Our condolences, and thank you so much for sharing her with us.
We'll remember you, Bobby.
Vicky, Linda, Cindy, Madalyn, Grace, Wendy, Lola, Donna

I am so very sorry for your loss.May fond memories of Roberta bring you comfort during this hard time in your life. Look back on all the good memories you were able to have and smile at the fact that you were able to share these before she passed away. My hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. God has promised us that we will soon be reunited with our loved ones. “There is going to be a resurrection,” the Bible confirms at Acts 24:15. “Do not be amazed at this,” Jesus assures us, “for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29)
