Barbara Lou Valentine

Barbara "Bobbie" Valentine passed peacefully from this world on October 25, 2023. She was a fiercely independent, opinionated, hilarious, tiny woman. She was hard-working and considerate, taking care of others for much of her life. She will be missed by her family and friends.

She was born on December 1, 1936, and was a long-time resident of Knox County. 

She is proceeded in death by her husband Carl Valentine; her parents Howard and Pearl Stubblefield; her sisters and their husbands, Shirley and Kenneth Hines and Loretta and Dewayne Ramey; her nephews, Gary Wills and Darrell Hines, and niece-in-law, Natalie Ramey.

She is survived by her nieces, Valarie Phillips and Kim Ramey Wooldridge; her nephews, Randy Hines, Kenny Hines, Ted Hines, Tim Hines, and Faun Ramey; her great nieces and nephews, Mariah Wooldridge, Isaac Wooldridge, Peytyn Wheeler, Eli Wooldridge, Luke Ramey, Jake Ramey, and Derek Ramey; and her friends, Larry and Fayetta and many others. 

This holiday season, make some peanut butter fudge and take the tags out of your clothes in honor of Bobbie. 

A graveside service will be held at East Tennessee State Veteran's Cemetery on Gov John Sevier Hwy, Knoxville, TN on November 22, 2023, at 10:00 am.
