Bobbie Mae was born on May 1, 1937, in Hall County to John Orvel and Phyllis G. Richey. She married Eddie Ferral Floyd on March 27, 1954, in Portales, New Mexico. During her lifetime she held several jobs outside the home, but valued her position as a wife and mother above all. 

In 1984 she and Eddie purchased The Nook in Clarendon where she spent more than 20 years
combining her love for fashion with her gift of gab!  Bobbie also worked with her sons, daughter-in-laws and sisters at Poor Boy’s Antiques where she loved collecting and buying antiques, and greeting customers from all over the world. Bobbie later took a position at the Saint’s Roost Museum where she was able to express her passion for her community by sharing stories of its rich history with museum guests.  Bobbie loved to bake and was best known for her cream pies, popcorn balls and dozens of other deserts which she could be found sharing with people all over town. She was involved in the Donley County Sr. Citizens and was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Clarendon.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, on November 23, 1991; and two sisters, Dorothy Taylor and Jackie Clawson.

Survivors include four sons, Johnny Floyd of Clarendon, Jimmy Floyd and wife Karen of Canadian, Lynn Floyd and Keith Floyd both of Clarendon; a brother, Truman Richey and wife Nina of San Angelo; a sister, Marie McElroy and husband Nat of Clarendon; nine grandchildren; and seven great grandchildren.

The family requests that memorials be to the Donley County Sr. Citizens or the Don and Sybil Harrington Cancer Center.
