It is with sadness, a heavy heart, and special Theta memories that I share the news of the recent passing of Bobbi Heckler Kane , '63. Bobbi was short on stature but huge on spirit and love.
- Carol Hearst Brott, '63.
Anyone who'd attended our luncheon in 2007 at The Locust Tree will remember Bobbi. She came to the luncheon with her caregiver. Bobbi was thrilled to be able to attend, the first such luncheon she'd been to, as far as I can remember.
