Bobbi was predeceased by her father Frank Casey.

Bobbi was a successful marketing executive serving as President/Principal of Rapid Response Marketing, Inc., located in Manchester, N.H., for over twenty-five years. She also spent a number of years working as a marketing professional with Parexel, Mercury Systems, and Emerson Ecologics. Bobbi loved her work and enjoyed her daily interaction with colleagues and clients.

Bobbi was a fun spirited soul who cherished quality conversation and a good laugh. She was a wonderful cook, had an extensive cookbook collection, and enjoyed experimenting with new recipes. She loved tending to her vegetable and flower gardens and looked forward to visiting the nursery for her spring and fall plants. Bobbi and Jim enjoyed many trips to Montreal for fine dining and trips to Pittsburg, NH for some relaxing fishing and rides on the logging roads. She cherished her chocolate and black labs and weekend rides to Hampton so that the dogs could run on the beach.

Bobbi will be dearly missed by her family, friends, colleagues, and of course her dogs. Until we meet again, CHEERS!

The family is grateful for the medical care provided by the Solinsky Center for Cancer at The Elliot and are particularly thankful for the kind, compassionate, end of life care provided by the amazing providers working on the Fitch Unit at the Elliot Hospital.

There will be no calling hours and a private memorial service will be held at a later date.
