Barbara Lynn Schooley, affectionately known as "Bobbi," was born June 15, 1954 in Beech Grove, IN to Jack and Pauline (Derr) Schooley. Following an extended illness, her beloved father, Jack, greeted Bobbi in Heaven on August 6, 2010.

Bobbi graduated from Sperry High School in 1972 as a member of the Honor Society. She began her working career at Bell Telephone Company and dedicated the majority of her working life to the medical support field.

A loving heart and giving spirit were her greatest qualities. She shared generously with her family and showered her nieces and nephews with gifts and attention. Bobbi's greatest passion was her love for animals. She was drawn to any animal anywhere and never met a stray she didn't like. Many pets throughout her life gave her great joy.

Bobbi had a beautiful smile and fun sense of humor. Her enjoyment on music led to attending many concerts and inspired her to dance. She also enjoyed the horse races, cooking, counted cross-stitch, and shopping and traveling with her mother. Bobbi was a member of the Community of Christ Church of Sperry.

She is survived by her mother, Pauling Schooley of Sperry; sisters, Donna Carter and husband Don of Skiatook and Mary McNabb and husband Vee of Tulsa; brother, Doug Schooley and wife Mary of Edmond; nieces, Melanie Mink, Amy Friday, and Kara Schooley; nephews, Jeff Stephens, Jason McNabb, and James Schooley; and numerous great nieces and great nephews, and many other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her father, Jack Schooley.

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the Humane Society or Animal Aid.
