Bobbie was united in marriage with Raymond McBay on June 11, 1949 in Groesbeck. They lived in Huntsville until he graduated from college, and then moved to several towns during his employment with USDA, Soil Conservation Service. Their three children primarily grew up while they lived in McKinney, Van Alstyne, and Denton. Bobbie took care of the home and raising her children, being totally involved in all their activities. She also enjoyed oil painting and crafting. Bobbie and Raymond moved back to Groesbeck when he retired. She remained very involved, along with her mother, in crafting, and they had some of the most interesting booths at Groesbeck’s annual craft show for many years. She was a member of the Groesbeck’s Women’s Club, and she was a member of the First Baptist Church of Groesbeck. She and Raymond were devoted grandparents and Groesbeck Goat fans. Bobbie was an avid football fan, especially of the Dallas Cowboys. Bobbie had developed many friendships in the towns where she lived that lasted her lifetime, and she kept in frequent contact with her many friends and family. She was especially loved for sending cards to all her family and friends for any and all occasions, something she learned from her mother. The grandchildren always looked forward to getting their cards in the mail. She will be remembered and greatly missed for the love and friendship she gave.
