Bobbi was born Aug. 2, 1939, and raised in Pennsylvania. She graduated from North Penn High School in 1957. She began her career as an X-ray technician, dedicating herself to healthcare before starting a family. Beyond her professional endeavors, Bobbi’s passion for sports was evident throughout her life. During high school, Bobbi was actively involved in field hockey, tennis and swimming. She later made significant contributions as a sports official, earning a USFHA national rating in field hockey and traveling across the country to officiate field hockey, volleyball and basketball games. Her expertise and commitment were recognized and respected in these communities.

Bobbi loved being outdoors. For over 30 years, she served as a PSIA ski instructor at Stratton Mountain, sharing her love for skiing with countless individuals. She especially loved teaching her grandchildren, and until recently spent time on the mountain with her great-grandchildren. During the warmer months, she was an avid gardener, and you would often find her tending to her many flower and vegetable gardens. Bobbi will be remembered for her kindness, enthusiasm and unwavering dedication to her family, friends and community.

In addition to her husband, Bobbi is survived by her son, Michael Schwartz and wife Tracy of St. Augustine, Florida, six grandchildren, five great-grandchildren as well as extended family. She is predeceased by her son, Mark Schwartz, and her brother, Robert Schaedler.
