Bobbie married Thomas A, Williams on November 22, 1947 in Pittsburg, TX. They later moved to the city of Lancaster, TX where Tommy was employed at General Motors Corporation. They were married for 32 years sharing a deep bond for their Christian faith. She was a long time and active member of Central Baptist Church in Lancaster.

She worked until the age of 83 in the field of electronics. Bobbie began her employment at Collins Radio in 1956 followed by Omega-T Systems. She retired from Poly-Spede Electronics in 2012 where she was the lead line operator making circuit boards for large military communications and surveillance.

Bobbie enjoyed attending her husband's pony league baseball games where he was the coach.
She was an avid reader and had a passion for knitting. Her specialties were house shoes, toboggans, and scarves. She shared these treasures with family, friends, and those in need.

She was a strong-willed woman never giving up on any challenge that came her way even to the point of mowing her own yard until the age of 89.
