Bobbi studied at AIC Tech and became a registered paralegal and worked in that capacity for several businesses in the Waterloo, Iowa area.

Bobbi enjoyed reading and was an avid University of Nebraska Husker fan. She loved to bake especially exotic shaped and decorated birthday cakes for each member of the family.
