D'Ann and Cousins,
This is truly a sad day to receive such a message. Bobbe was always very
good to me and tried to help every way possible. She wrote emails to my
Mother (a cancer victim herself) encouraging her and welcoming her to the
family. I just want to say I too will miss Bobbe!!! For today Bobbe gets to
meet those we only wish we knew!!!!!!

Dear Cousins,
It is with a great deal of sadness to report to you that our own Bobbe Duvall
passed away yesterday of cancer. She had been very sick for over a month.
First medical diagnosis was pneumonia, but recent tests of last week
confirmed cancer. I called yesterday to find out the results of her tests and
found Bobbe had died a few hours earlier peacefully and quickly in her own
home.
Bobbe was a part of our "core research and website group", host of the
Itawamba Co MS USGenWeb page, administrator of this Chamblee list, and our
resident expert on MS Chamblee ancestors. We met in about 1992 sharing
genealogy and remained close thereafter.
Bobbe is survived by her father, three brothers and their families.
I was told a notice in Rome and Calhoun, GA newspapers will be added this
week with memorial services in GA and possibly in MS. Bobbe requested she be
buried close to her mother and ancestors in Itawamba Memorial Gardens,
Itawamba Co, MS.
A memorial page with pictures of Bobbe will be forthcoming on the Chamlee &
Chamblee Network site.
She is greatly missed.
