In 1980, she met and married
George Cross, a Bellingham native and Alaskan fisherman. They shared 24 years together, until his passing in 2004.
Bobbie is survived by her children, Brian Peterson and wife, Sandi, of Bellingham; Teresa Hatter and husband, Michael, of Alger; David Peterson and wife, Nancy, of Bonners Ferry, Idaho; as well as a special daughter, Kay Wiley, of Orlando, Florida, and a special son, Paul Southland and wife, Victoria, of Wrangell, Alaska.

She was, at times, a Den Mother, Bluebird and Camp Fire leader. But most often, she was head cheerleader for the dreams and aspirations of her ``young folk."
Whether she was keeping an eye out for the children around her in the berry fields of Skagit Valley, inviting young sailors on liberty from NAS Whidbey Island in for a homecooked meal, or organizing the yearly Easter egg hunts for her extended family, she acted with a servant's heart.
Now she rests in the arms of our Lord.

Memorials may be made in her name to the United Methodist Missions Fund.
