Barbara Blackwell Anderson

July 25, 1946 — December 14, 2021

Barbara "Bobbi" Blackwell Anderson loved her family, flowers, horses, Dobermans, birds,
butterflies, Georgia Bulldogs football and Hallmark movies, not necessarily in that order. She
and her husband Earl had a lovely home in Cumming, GA. She had recently relocated to St.
Louis, to be closer to three of her sisters, Patty Piotrowicz (the late Richard), Jackie Baum
(Jim), and Lori Blackwell (cat Bisou), and her step-daughter Cindy Mercado and granddaughter
Tia, and was close with her sister Marilyn Smith in Virginia. Bobbi is also the sister of Carolyn Hoffman (the late Harlan).
She is remembered by her sisters,nieces, nephews, grandkids, cousins and friends. Bobbi was the daughter of the late Sanford
"Jack" Blackwell and Dorothy "Dot" Scholl Blackwell of St. Charles, Missouri, and the sister of
the late Jerry Blackwell.

Bobbi was an accomplished career woman, working as manager for Blue Cross & Blue Shield
in St. Louis and Chicago, and as a paralegal secretary for Congressman John Barrow in
Athens, Georgia. She was a storyteller and painter and craftswoman, with one bedroom that
could have been classified as a Michael's satellite store. She was always puttering in her
garden or making things or simply enjoying being at home. Bobbi had an infectious laugh that
her Mom said sounded just like her own mother, Sophie Scholl. She had a lot of health
challenges, but always with a loving and giving heart. Bobbi died on December 14, 2021 at the
age of 75. She will be greatly missed and remembered with a smile. Private memorial services
will be held in 2022.
