“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” – Psalm 116:15

Bobbie Marie (Eoff) Campbell, 92, of Ballinger, peacefully passed away at her residence on Wednesday, May 17, 2023, surrounded by family.

Bobbie Marie was born on Tuesday, October 14, 1930, to James Dexter and Robbie D (Jones) Eoff in Dallas, Texas. A member of the Ballinger High School class of 1948, she studied Home Economics at Abilene Christian College, where she played flute in the Big Purple Band. She later received a Master of Arts in the field of Art at Kansas State University in Manhattan. A passionate teacher, she began her career in Aspermont, Texas, and soon relocated to Pecos where she met the love of her life, Jerome Wesley Campbell. They wed on July 2, 1955, at the 8 ^th Street Church of Christ in Ballinger. The couple proudly raised five children together and shared many adventures prior to Wesley’s passing in 2003. Bobbie worked at Ballinger ISD for 26 years prior to her retirement in 2002. Her years of service to the Special Education Department are remembered with much gratitude for her servant’s heart.

She was also a long-time member of the Runnels County Historical Commission and the Hanging by a Thread Quilting Club in San Angelo. An avid quilter, she won many awards for her work and was known for her bright and colorful choice of fabrics. She loved family and placed importance on maintaining long-standing family traditions. Always a brilliant mind, in her leisure she enjoyed solving jigsaw puzzles.
