Bobby Jean was married to Rawles King, Jr. on Dec. 1, 1983. She loved dancing, and they could dance the night away, whether polka or jitterbug, or whatever the music called for. Bobbie Jean was well known for her lively laugh and fun-loving personality.
Bobby Jean worked for the City of Groesbeck as a billing clerk for 27 years and operator for 8 years, retiring after 35 years.

She enjoyed working as a volunteer at Limestone Medical Center and operating the hospital gift shop for many years. She loved garage sales, traveling, cruises, gambling, shopping, and going to sports events with her grandchildren. 
Once her grandchildren were born, they were the light of her life. She was known as “Bru” to not only Kailey and Colton but to their friends as well. Bobbie Jean was especially thrilled to hold her new great granddaughter, Sawyer, who was born this September, calling her “my baby.”
