Obituary - Bobbie Jean Bohannon
Bobbie was born on September 1, 1923 in Urich, Missouri, the daughter of Robert Perry and Beulah Marie (Ashbrooke) Overbey. She grew up in Urich, graduating from Urich High School. Bobbie met the love of her life, Orley Nivel Bohannon, and they were married on June 21, 1942 in Flint, Michigan. They enjoyed 36 years together before his passing on March 6, 1979. Bobbie lived in Michigan and Kansas City before settling down in Cass County, spending most of her life in Harrisonville. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Harrisonville, then later Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church, and lastly Antioch Southern Baptist Church.
Bobbie enjoyed reading, completing crosswords and jigsaw puzzles, and watching the Game Show Network, especially Jeopardy. She also had a love for baseball, whether it was watching her son, Larry, her grandkids, or the KC Royals, she likely would ask you to wait until the game was over to do other things, regardless of what it might be, including once when she wanted to postpone a surgery. She was a true matriarch and always put her family at the forefront, often found reading or playing games with her grandchildren, because she always had the time to give to them. Bobbie was blessed to be able to go camping with her daughters, Kay and Vicki, across the country to wherever they could set up their tent. This resulted in trips to over 40 states, the last one being when Bobbie was 87 and they camped throughout South Dakota. After she went into the nursing home, she began to enjoy sitting and watching her hummingbird feeders outside of her window. Bobbie will be missed by all those who knew her, but leaves behind many wonderful memories.

Obituary - Sherrie Doody
Sherrie lived her 57 years of life on her own terms. For most of her life, you rarely found her without a Mountain Dew in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Most knew her as a tenacious, hard-working, generous, strong-willed soul who never left a word unsaid. She had a unique way of connecting with people and saw the good in everyone.
She had a passion for caring for others. She spent much of her life dedicated to caring for the elderly. She was a collector of things. What the collection was just depended on the season of life she was in. Her treasures were many. Most would say, “they never met someone like Sherrie and likely never will again.” She was loved and held a special space in the hearts of those who knew her.
Sherrie had a relationship with Christ and her faith saw her through many aspects of life. She graduated from Rich Hill High School in 1983. She resided in Butler, MO and surrounding towns throughout her life.
At Sherrie’s request there will be no formal visitation or funeral. However, those who wish to pay tribute to her during a Celebration of Life are invited to do so. It will be held on Sunday, October 10th from 2PM – 4PM at Trent’s BBQ 720 E Walnut St, Rich Hill, MO 64779.
Cards and memorial contributions are all welcome. Please contact the Heuser Funeral Home for details.
I don’t think a relationship exists like the one my mother and I had. It was by no means a typical mother/daughter relationship, but it worked for us. My heart can rest easy knowing she is now at peace.
My mother taught me the meaning of how to hustle, be ambitious, and raised me to know no limits. She instilled limitless confidence in me. Because of her I approach life without self-doubt.
As an adult, I can recognize that we lived in poverty. But as a child, I had no clue. She was a provider and made sure my brother and I never went without and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted and more. This is a testament to who she was as a person. She went without in order to be able to give to others.
Those who knew her – loved her. She made special connections with people. She was genuine and authentic. She did things her own way and was relentless in doing so. She did things to the max. You knew with her it was always going to be something. My mother did the best she could. And she gave her all.
Her life lasted 57 years but she left an impression that will last a lifetime. It’s time to hang up the gloves and rest easy, mom.
