Obituary
Bobbye (Roberta) Laughlin departed this life on March 1, 2016. She was a resident of Lake Forest Village, Good Samaritan Denton, Texas, having previously lived in Arlington, Fort Worth, Stephenville and Morgan Mill Texas.
Bobbye Laughlin was born October 21, 1920 in Mingus, Texas to Robert L. (Bob) Gurgainous and wife Stella Brannon Gurgainous, both of whom preceded her in death. Bobbye graduated from Huckabay High School in Erath County and attended college at Tarleton State University in Stephenville.
On February 10, 1940 she was married to Carl Glen Laughlin of Morgan Mill. They were married for 56 years until his death in 1996. They were the parents of two beloved daughters, grandparents of two grandsons and great grandparents of four great granddaughters and one great grandson.
Bobbye was a member of the Baptist Church. She had put her faith in the Lord, her Savior many years ago and trusted her care to him.
Beginning in the late sixties, she became an avid traveler and traveled to all of the major countries of the world and a lot of the third world countries. Many of the countries she had visited became her favorites and she returned to those countries several times along with all 50 of the Untied States.
We have been blessed to have her here with us for 95 productive and active years. We give her over to our Heavenly Father for rest and peace, in sadness for our loss, but in joy that she no longer suffers in her earthly body.
