Bobbie dedicated her professional life to the School District of Pickens County, where she lovingly served as the librarian at Liberty Middle School for many years. Her passion for books and learning inspired countless students and helped create a nurturing environment for young minds to flourish. She was not just a librarian; she was a guiding light, sharing her love of reading and knowledge with everyone who crossed her path.

A proud member of East Side Baptist Church, she was actively involved with the Golden Gems, forming lifelong friendships and celebrating life’s joys with her church family. With a warm smile and a heart full of love, she shared her talents in cooking and sewing, often bringing people together with her delicious meals and handcrafted gifts.

Those left to cherish her memory include her son, Steve Chapman (Sandra); three grandchildren, Brian Chapman, Stephanie Hendershott, and Matthew Chapman; also surviving are her great grandchildren, Haile, Cameron, Colin, and Callie.

In addition to her husband and parents she was preceded in death by two sons, Earl Jackson “Jackie” Chapman, Jr., and Larry Dean Chapman, a sister, Clara M. Shephard, and three brothers, JP Medlock, Thomas Gaston “Junior” Medlock, and William Ray Medlock.
