In Loving Memory of Roberta Louise Gavin

Roberta "Bobbie" Louise Gavin passed away on February 06, 2026 in Republic, Washington. Bobbie was born to her parents, Robert Vernon Shaffer, and Clyerine Elsie Connally, on March 02, 1952 in Missoula, Montana.

Bobbie moved around growing up. After graduating, she had gone to school to be a pastor as well as schooling for business management. Bobbie loved going to church and often had a gathering in her home for church. Bobbie loved music, singing, and playing piano. She enjoyed dancing, traveling, cooking, and farming. She built her own cabin on the forty- acre farm while caring for her family and raising chickens, ducks, goats, horses and cows, and her beloved cats and dogs. Bobbie was a homesteader. She raised her own meat, made cheese from her cow's milk, and produced vegetables from her crops. She loved her family and looked forward to spending time with her children, and grandchildren. She will be missed by her family, friends, and the good people of Ferry County. Bobbie will always be remembered for giving her time and help to anyone in need.
