Bobbie Joe Crowe Cantrell of Melbourne passed peacefully in her sleep the morning of December 28, 2021. She was 91.
Born to Walter Johnson Crowe and Audrey Nation Crowe in Cartersville, GA on February 25, 1930, she graduated from Cartersville High School, and then worked for Atlanta Hospital Supply and Georgia Power and Light before moving to Eau Gallie, FL in 1957, after a number of moves as an Army Lt.'s wife.
Bobbie's career continued as Assistant City Clerk for the City of Eau Gallie, FL before the merger with the City of Melbourne. Her love for flowers led her to become a floral designer, assisting with the opening of Petals Florist, where she was senior designer until her retirement at age 70.
A long-time member of Eau Gallie First Baptist Church, Bobbie was involved in the Hospitality, Seafarer's, and nursing home visitation teams for years. She stayed active in the BYKOTA (Be Ye Kind One To Another) Sunday School Class, of which she was an original member, until her passing.
Bobbie's love for family was exemplified in her care for her youngest son, Clifford Mitchell (Mitch) Cantrell from birth until his death in 2016 at age 47. She was also preceded in death by her parents, son Claude Marshall Cantrell Jr., US Navy, and brother Walter Earl Crowe of Cartersville, GA.
