Bobbie R. Faulkner
May 30, 1934 ~ November 4, 2017
Resided in:
Asheville, North Carolina
Bobbie R. Faulkner, 83, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, November 4, 2017. From her birth in Asheville, North Carolina on May 30, 1934 to her death on Saturday, she showered everyone around her with love, faith and kindness.
She was born to the late Robert Rogers and Estella Cody and was the oldest of two children. She was once in the newspaper for not missing a day of school for 11 years. She also held a perfect eight year attendance record at work, until missing only to have gall stones removed.
On her birthday in 1959 she married the love of her life, the late, Bob Faulkner. Together they ran Faulkner's Florist, located in the Asheville Mall and on Leicester Hwy.
After that adventure, Bob became a car salesman and Bobbie worked for Westinghouse, from where she retired. Together they had three children.
Left to honor and remember her love are her three children, Kirk, Kymberly and Kellie Faulkner; six grandchildren, Josie and Paul Mundy, Christopher Crowder and Jason Josey, Cody and Mary Faulkner, Travis Fox, Dana Faulkner, and Chyanni Faulkner & Chris Douglas; great-grandchildren, Lillian Mundy, Kobe Mundy, Haiden Blake, Kadenz Faulkner, Caedyn Faulkner, Zoei Douglas, Myles Mundy, Cohen Faulkner and Kaine Douglas; sister, Billie Stapleton; brother, Tim Thomas; and many nieces, nephews and friends.
She wanted to be known as having a good outlook on life and having a great love for all children. She loved to play Bingo and had a thirst for reading.
A memorial service for Mrs. Faulkner will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday in the Patton Ave. chapel of Groce Funeral Home, with the Rev. Kenny Clewis officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Salvation Army, PO Box 295, Hot Springs, NC 28743.

Bobbie gave me a wonderful opportunity to work at the florist my senior year in high school. I have great memories of her and her staff. She was a specials lady. My prayers are with you all.
what a sweetheart. we will miss her.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Bobbie was my good friend at Lee Edwards High. We were in the same class and I had lunch with her often during the week. She was always upbeat and a barrel of fun. It sounds as if she continued that throughout her life.
I totally lost track of her since high school, but have thought of her so many times through the years. You have been blessed with such a wonderful mother and grandmother and she was blessed to have such a big family to remember her and cherish her memory.
May God comfort you in your grief through the love of your family and friends.
