Kathleen Ruth Bobell

Kathleen Ruth Bobell, 73, of Canton passed away at 6:10 pm Friday, June 26, 2015 at the Graham Hospital in Canton.  She was born on September 2, 1941 to Robert and Gertrude (Lorton) Wiles.  Kathleen married Leo R. Bobell on August 21, 1960 in Canton at Wesley United Methodist Church. He survives along with a son Dr. Robert C. (Carla) Bobell of Canton, and 2 grandsons; Westin and Nathan.  She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother Robert.

Kathleen was a Member of Wesley United Methodist Church, Job’s Daughters, Den mother for Cub Scouts Pack 99, and Graham Hospital Service League.  She worked at Gallagher-Reeder Insurance Agency and Nagle Accounting & Tax Services as a secretary. She started and owned her own business, Kathy’s Bridal from 1989-2008.

Kathy enjoyed making young women look beautiful in their prom or wedding gowns and would spend hours upon hours often staying up most of the night sewing and altering their dresses to perfection.  She absolutely loved what she was doing and her passion was reflected in her products and services she provided to her customers who sometimes drove for many miles to come see Kathy.  She also enjoyed spending time with her family especially her 2 grandsons whom she adored.

Kathy’s legacy will be her ever sacrificial giving of herself and her unconditional love.  It was often noted that you never left Kathy’s house empty handed.

Services will be 11 AM Thursday, July 2 at Murphy-Sedgwick Memorial Home in Canton with Pastor Brandon Theobald officiating.  Visitation will be from 5-7 PM Wednesday at the Funeral Home.  Burial will follow in White Chapel Memory Gardens in Canton.  Memorials can be made to Alzheimer’s Association or Spoon River College Foundation.  To view Kathleen’s DVD or make online condolences you can go to www.sedgwickfuneralhomes.com.
