Bobbie June McHale went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on September 26, 2017 after a brief illness of acute myeloid leukemia at the age of 82. Bobbie is preceded in death by her parents, James Clayton Canady and Evelyn Lenox Roberts, her step father Walter "Bo" Roberts, twin baby sister Betty Jane Canady, brothers Billy Ray Canady and Wayne Canady, and son Patrick David McHale. Bobbie is survived by her husband of 61 years, Robert David McHale, sister Kay Roberts Harber and brother in law Bruce Harber, daughter in law Michele McHale, daughter Pamela McHale Lane and son in law Patrick Lane, daughter Karen McHale Alexander and son in law Jonathan Alexander, daughter Kristi McHale Turner and Zack Hall.  Bobbie was the proud grandmother of nine beautiful grandchildren:  Jessica McHale, Patrick "David" McHale Jr., Tonya Lane Canales, Ashley Lane Gillespie, Nathan Alexander, Natalie Alexander, Taylor Turner, Heston Turner and Emmah Hall.  Her nine great-grandchilden and numerous nieces and nephews brought her great joy.

Bobbie was a kind, loving person who earned the admiration of many with her sweet disposition and sunny attitude. She knew just what to say to people who needed encouragement, a laugh or empathy.  One of her greatest strengths was to talk with anyone and to leave them feeling better than they were before.  Her candor and wit often amused us all.

Her address book was filled with the names of friends they met over the years and with whom she continued to cultivate her friendships. She was quick with a smile and a warm hug to all of those she loved, especially her darling grandchildren.
