Bobbie Lou Graham/Reed

November 11, 1932 - November 11, 2024

Sheffield, Texas 

Bobbie Lou Graham/Reed (Memaw), devoted mother and grandmother was called home to the Lord on Monday, November 11, 2024 at the age of 92. 

Bobbie was born on November 11, 1932 in Big Spring, Texas to Myrtle and Jim Spears. She spent most of her childhood years in different West Texas towns and later moved to Fort Stockton, Texas where she graduated high school and went on to marry her first husband and father of her children Allen A. Graham on August 12, 1950.

Bobbie and Allen lived in Rocksprings, Texas before moving to Sheffield, Texas where they welcomed their four children into the world. While Allen was a Pecos County deputy, Bobbie worked multiple different jobs over the years, but spent most of her time as a homemaker raising her children. They were married for 23 years before Allen entered into eternal rest.

On April 7, 1978, Bobbie married her second husband Troy Reed, and they resided in Sheffield, Texas where they spent their 16 years together.

Bobbie was a member of the Mother Holmes Memorial Baptist Church where she attended services and volunteered. She enjoyed spending time reading the Bible and watching Church services on TV as well. She also spent time volunteering at the Sheffield Senior Citizens meals where she cooked and collected payments.

Bobbie loved her family fiercely, and had many friends. She showed her love in many ways, but is known for always cooking up a good meal and feeding anyone that came by. She loved to have a cup of coffee and sit out on the swing visiting with family and friends. She looked forward to the holidays when all her family would gather at her house to celebrate, but she especially loved her birthdays when her kids and grandkids would celebrate with her. She was determined to make it to her 92nd birthday, and would love for her special day to always be remembered as a joyful time.

Bobbie is preceded in death by her first husband Allen Graham; second husband Troy Reed; parents, Jim and Myrtle Spears; brothers, Wayne “Corky” Coffman and JC Coffman; sisters, Maxine Wynne and Nelda Ledford; daughter in law, Kanny Graham; and granddaughter Tammy Hilburn.
