Nicholson, who recently preceded her in death on January 9, 2021. Her family rejoices in knowing that Bobbie Sue and J.W. are reunited in Heaven, and expect he wonders what took her so long to join him.

She was a faithful member of Prince Street Church of Christ. Together, J.W. and Bobbie enjoyed watching Razorbacks sports, playing cards with friends, and taking many trips with their travel club. She stayed active golfing, gardening, sewing and walking several miles a day with her walking buddy, Carolyn Glover. Her favorite pastime was bragging on her seven grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and six great-great-grandchildren. The family shares fond memories of Mamaw’s Sunday lunches, especially her pot roasts, hot rolls, corn casserole and yummy desserts. Bobbie Sue was the ultimate homemaker in the eyes of her family. She made everyone their favorite meals, made the best sun tea, and kept an immaculate home. She was known to put more dishes in a dishwasher than anyone who ever lived and they always came out spotless. Bobbie was loving and kind and the definition of a true lady. She and J.W. made their family feel loved and treasured and will be greatly missed by everyone.
