Condolences
She loved unconditionally and offered a space in her home when I needed it the most. Along with Uncle David, they gave me a place to feel the warmth of family every Sunday for dinner. It was a place to feel together and connected, where everyone was welcome. We would bring our laundry and enjoy a meal at a big full table where everyone was welcome. Her open laughter taught me to enjoy the moment, her acceptance of all made me a better person, and her love made me feel like I always had a place to go home to if I needed it. Her unconditional love brought me stability, and I am a better person because of it. I will miss you Auntie Bobbie, and you will not be forgotten.
Margaret Roberta, but everyone knew her as Bobbi. I first met Bobbi when my brother David introduced us with “This is Bobbi, the girl I am going to marry”, and marry her he did, bringing this wonderful person into the James family.
Over the years we shared many happy times at gathering for every occasion. Bobbi was always laughing and smiling and always a joy to be with. I also remember that she also had a strict side that would come out whenever she felt it necessary, and when it did. you knew not to mess with this lady.
She was a mother who treasured her children, a wife who loved her husband, and a friend to many. She was always as solid as a rock when faced with adversity. She was the genuine article.
The parties at her house were many and lots of fun. We all have fond memories of playing horseshoes in her side yard with Bobbi at the Bar-B-Q. There were many dinner parties with Bobbi and David hosting the huge James family. One of the things Bobbi loved to do, and was so good at, was the laborious task of making pickled beets. All the James families looked forward to receiving a gift of Bobbi’s beets at Christmas and her wonderful smile as she gave them to you.
As she got older life became a little more difficult and this wonderful lady who had taken care of so many realized that she would need some help. Her dream was to be able to move to Calgary to live with her daughter and her family, who had invited her to come and live with them. As soon as their Montreal house issue was resolved Bobbi & David packed up and moved to Calgary. The move to Calgary was a blessing for her. She lived many happy years there, she buried her husband David there, and sadly she recently died there.
My wife Andrée and I send our sincerest condolences to her family. She will be remembered as a wonderful person that we had the good fortune to share a part of her life for all too brief a period of time.

Very sorry for your loss. Aunt Bobbie was a warm caring person whose door was always open to anyone in need of help. Condolences to her family as well as her many friends. She will be missed
April and Peter, I am sorry for your loss. I will keep my fond memories of your mom. Especially her famous mac n cheese. Good bless you both. Henriette & David
My aunt was one of the warmest and most generous people I have ever known. She had a heart full of kindness, always ready to help others, and never hesitated to offer a comforting word or a helping hand. Her goodness shone through in everything she did, making the world a better place simply by being in it. One of my fondest memories is her distinctive laugh—an infectious, joyful sound that could light up any room. Hearing it always brought a smile to my face and filled the air with a sense of fun and happiness. Her presence was a true blessing, and her memory will always be cherished.
I have known Bobbie since I was old enough to remember. She was my cousin and my friend. I loved her and cherished her my whole life and I will miss her forever.
My 'Canadian mother" Bobbie was a Gem and I was happy to have the honor to call her "Mother" and grab a hug for many years. Bobbie was always kind with a great sense of humor and a smile, her and David were a treat to be around and we all loved them both very much. We will all miss the laughter of being tangled in or tripping over her "oxygen leash" or rescuing it from a dog or a chair leg, I will miss her amazing pickled beets (best I ever had) but most of all we will miss her company and her kindness. Say "Hi" to David (Sir) for us and have a great rest, all our love Tim, Lana and Sam.
Bobbie and David were always an important part of my life growing up. They were my Godparents, but they were also like my second parents. Bobbi had a big heart and she always had a hot meal, for anyone that stopped by unexpectedly at their home at dinner time. Everyone was welcomed at her table. I am so grateful to have known her, and to have been loved by her unconditionally. I will miss her always, and her unique infectious laugh. Fly high with the angels Bobbi xo. Love you always, Patricia xo.
We were friends for fifty years I will miss you forever, sending love and prayers
