Bobboo loved her family and enjoyed all the get-togethers and camaraderie that came with all being together. She loved taking care of everyone and felt that a bowl of potato soup was the cure-all. Her favorite hobby was gardening. She spent every day, while her health allowed, tending to her yard and pulling out the smallest blade of grass in her flower beds. Her family always said that she could make a dead stick bloom in her yard. Before moving to Ozark in1976 she lived in Parkin AR where she was a hairdresser for everyone in town. Once retired they decided to move to Ozark to be closer to her baby sister and opened their own business, which they ran until Brother’s passing in 1999. Bobboo was a talker, she would talk to a fence post if it would stand there. She was very outspoken and would say exactly what needed to be said at any given moment whether good or bad. She was a lady of many talents. She was fearless and would try and accomplish anything she set her mind on. She was a painter for many years and still displays several oil paintings around her home. She and her daughter and granddaughter took up “flipping houses” for several years and Bobboo became a master at finishing sheetrock and ceramic tile. If you ever rode in a car with Bobboo, congratulations you survived! Too many times did she load up the family into her car and head out of town at Midnight to visit family in another state! And she also taught most of her younger generations to drive her way, fast! She loved her grandchildren and never missed any of their activities. She was cheering on Rylie at every pageant, she was at every Hillbilly football game that Taylor and Ramsey ever had- no matter the distance until her health stopped her. She loved her sports, she was an avid Hog fan that never missed watching/listening to a baseball, football or basketball game. She loved her Saints and would often laugh about needing Marie Levoux’s help to get a win.Bobboo will be missed by everyone that knew her- either long term friends or people she just met. She was one of a kind and there will never be another. Helping her on her final journey will be pallbearers Ramsey Pressgrove, Chris Warden, Taylor McIlroy, Ryan McClain, Gage McConnell, and Toby Richard.
