Bobbie Bostick, (85) born July 20, 1931 in Vine Grove, KY went Home to be with her Heavenly Father on September 3, 2016 in Lawrence, KS after a sudden advanced development of Alzheimer's. She was a 39 year multiple cancer survivor.

She was the daughter of George and Eileen Gambrall and sister of Ginger Neusel, all deceased. Her family lived in Detroit, MI where she met the love of her life, Clint "Hank" Bostick. They were married 64 years. Her greatest gift in life was 4 children; Krista (Lee) Campbell/FL, Becky (Michael) Harris/KS, Matthew (Jill) Bostick/KS and Amy (Richard) Kepler/AL; 5 Grandchildren, of which the oldest is deceased; 6 Great Grandchildren and 1 Great, Great Granddaughter.

Bobbie sang tenor for 26 years with the Cracker Jills, the Sweet Adeline's 1957 International Championship quartet. She was the Director of the Downriver-Dearborn Chapter Chorus in Detroit, MI as well as coach and music arranger for many top Barbershop and Sweet Adeline quartets. They lived in Palm Beach County Florida for 33 years, where she worked in the Cardiology Department at St. Mary's Hospital (19 years) and was a nanny for newborn infants (10 years) in Palm Beach. She and her husband then settled in Lawrence, KS.

Family, singing, and visiting folks across the country were her favorite pastimes. Through genealogy research, she traced her family back to 160AD. They never wrote enough books for her to read! She was actively on her computer Googling everything and sharing anecdotes, family photos and prayer requests.

In her honor and memory, donations would gladly be received by the Alzheimer's Association or American Cancer Society.
