Barbara (Bobbie) Dempsey was born on May 15, 1943, in Grand Junction, Colorado, to Glen and Hazel Smith. She passed away on July 1, 2025, at the age of 82.
Bobbie married Carl T. Smith, with whom she had three children: Crystal, Carl (Ted), and Cynthia (Connie). Afterward, she married William (Bill) Dempsey, and they had two children: Robert and Ariana.
Bobbie had a joyous spirit, finding delight in playing bingo with her friends, crocheting, and watching old movies. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Loved by many, she was often described as a bright light who brought joy to her neighbors through her infectious smile and warm visits.
She was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her siblings: Walter Smith, Susan Phillips, and Penny Higby and her children: Crystal (Smith) Buntemeyer, Carl (Ted) Smith, Cynthia (Connie) Smith, Robert Dempsey, and Ariana Upton, along with her three grandchildren: Cristopher, Shaun, and Connor, and her great-granddaughter, Calliope Marie Smith.
In keeping with Bobbie's wishes, cremation has taken place, and there will be no formal service. The family will hold a memorial at a later date to celebrate Bobbie's life.
