Barbara Ann ?Bobbi? was born to William and Ella Montgomery on June 22, 1945 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The youngest and only girl of three, Barbara Ann, affectionately called Bobbi Ann by her parents and siblings, grew up in the West End and attended Harriet Beecher Stowe Elemen-tary, Cutter Junior High, and Robert A. Taft High School.
She was employed by Blue Cross/Blue Shield for many years, and finally with the Hyatt Corporation where she received many awards for stellar customer service.
Bobbi was a devoted daughter and doting mother. She had an infectious sense of humor and spread love and laughter wherever she went. She also loved to cook, especially for holidays.
Bobbi was preceded in death by her father, William (?Gold?).
Among those who will cherish her memories are: her mother, Ella; brothers, William (Patricia) and John (Alma); children, Melvin (Corinthia), Markus, Kelli, Courtni (Robert) and Dwight (Marlena); 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
She is also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and friends.
