During her college career, she met the love of her life, Les Noess, in 1987, who she met through a college friend. After graduating, she began her nursing career in Bismarck at Med Center 1 for about a year until she moved to Java to be with Les. Shortly after, she began employment at Bowdle Healthcare where she worked for twenty-five plus years. In Bowdle, she worked in the ER, as a floor nurse in the hospital, and later was the Director of Nursing for a few years. Her health forced her to resign working as a nurse, but she always continued to care for others in any way she could.

They continued their life together in Java, SD where they started their family and were blessed with two children, Sam and Sheldon. She loved her family with her whole heart, even amongst her sarcasm and amazing sense of humor.

While her kids were growing up, Bobbi was known throughout her kids classmates as the go-to mom or nurse. Her house was always open to anyone who needed a place, advice, help in any way, and no one ever left hungry. She was well known for her cookies and that was requested by many.

Bobbi's hobbies included playing cards, hand and foot being her favorite, games on her phone, and shopping. Bobbi loved to be in the kitchen. Her baking and cooking from scratch was admired by many. If she wasn't in the kitchen, you could always look over and see her catching a quick nap.

Bobbi loved to care for them and spoiled them with clothes, treats, and other fun gadgets she would find in her shopping sprees. She loved them like her own and was always thinking of them.

She will forever be known for her sarcastic sense of humor and her quick wit. Many of her shirts she wore had some sort of sarcasm on it and if there was a fun decoration with a saying, you can bet it became hers.
