Bobbie attended Dumas Texas High School where she graduated in 1948. Bobbie got the restaurant business in her blood early in life. She was usually at the cafe her Aunt Hazel owned during her younger years and by her young teens Bobbie was a fullfledged employee.

After moving back and forth between Oklahoma and Texas, the couple made their home in Oklahoma.

After two years at the Bus Station, Bobbie moved to the Queen Bee on Hinckley. Bobbie’s Restaurant was opened in 1974.
