Bobbie Hallman Obituary

It's 2022, and this is the first time I've seen Aunt Bobbie's
obituary. I'm her niece, Charles White's daughter, her
brother. They say I really favor her. I do remember she
had a warm friendly smile. So long ago. I live in Lenoir,
NC now, not too far from all the families homeplace, in
Fort Mill, SC. What a special family, the White's. Julia (White) Magaha

Sue...here's the poem that my brother, Al, wrote for our mother's passing last year in honor of her relationship with your mother and all of our aunts.



"Sisters"



There was sand between their toes

As they skipped down that old dirt road

Laughing, singing, holding hands together

Just a hill or two to go

To their favorite swimming hole

Seemed like those childhood days would last forever

But, that summer soon was gone

And they would lie out in the lawn

Watching fireflies and stars dance through the night

They would talk of times to come

Share their hopes and dreams as one

Side by side until the morning light

...Sisters...



Married now, they could not stay

Some moved near, some far away

With new families of their own to love and cherish

But, they promised they would write

Call or visit day or night

That the love they held inside would never perish

Seasons came and seasons went

With dawn and sunsets time was spent

Both together and with families, so demanding

But they knew how much they cared

In those precious times they shared

Their bond of love beyond all understanding

...Loving Sisters...



In twilight years, their children grown

Now with families of their own

Grandchildren laughing, husbands passing, bodies aching

Finally time to share their love

But, God is calling from above

As each one leaves, the other hearts are breaking

But, God is whispering in each ear

"Do not be troubled, grieve, nor fear

Dry your tears and let your hearts be mending

For your love will never die

Like the stars up in the sky

The bond of love you share is never ending"



One day soon the time will come

That you'll all become as one

With joy unspeakable and full of glory

Your bodies will be new

Like wildflowers filled with dew

Washed clean of sin and sorrow

End of story!

And as you all walk hand in hand

With Jesus, in the promise land

On streets of gold with beauty beyond measure

You'll know nothing can compare

With the love that you now share

Next to Jesus, it will be your greatest treasure.



...Forever Sisters...

I have so many fun memories of Aunt Bob. Aunt Bob visiting us in Florida was always a marked event. I remember Aunt Bob and my grandmother Sara jo enjoying life to the fullest!



I wanted to share a fond memory of comforting words Aunt Bob wrote to my grandmother Sara Jo when my grandfather Benjamin passed years ago to comfort her.



As a beautiful rose will die and fade away...

So will these bodies made of clay...



Now her spirit is free. Aunt Bob will always live in my heart. Love and prayers to all.

I will forever cherish the sweet memories of my dear Aunt Bob. She is truly a great woman of God, and a shining inspiration to me. I treasure our phone conversations,her visits to Florida , and to our church (The Sanctuary, Church of God). I look forward to reading her book "Eagle People". I know she is with our dear Lord Jesus and my mom, Sara Jo, and we will all be together again in Heaven.

I will always remember the excitement that I felt when I knew Aunt Bob was coming to visit. The fun times and the lessons learned from one absolutely amazing person. I feel very lucky have had such a wonderful person to call my Aunt and I will miss her greatly.



I may not have been able to say good bye, but I look forward to saying hello again one day.



The rest of the family and all of the friends will be kept in my prayers.

I remember as a little child, waiting impatiently in my Florida home for Aunt Bob and the cousins to arrive for a visit. She would always enter looking 'perfect'. Beautiful hair, beautiful smile, matching pocket book and shoes. Her love for her nieces and nephews was unconditional. Her love and commitment to my mother, her sister, was unbreakable. They were the best of friends and enjoyed a relationship that is being renewed now in heaven.



I will miss Aunt Bob. But part of her will always be with me. I pray that we can all live by her example and cling to the bonds of love that will one day reunite us with her.



And maybe we can put in a request that Jesus lets Aunt Bob make the Macaroni and Cheese for the Wedding Feast of the Lamb!



Love,



Cindi Jo

I remember going home on Sundays after church and having dinner with the Hallmans. Ms. Hallman was a great cook !! I spent a lot of my teenage years at the Hallman's home and what fun we had! Sue was like a sister and Ted and Tim were like brothers to me.I will always cherish my memories of Ms. Hallman and her wonderful family.

Ted and Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

Granny has brought us together one last time.



Reading all of the comments from our family and friends is the closest I have been to a family re-union in such a long time.



The feelings shared by everyone who loved her is very heartwarming.



Granny always hosted the best family re-unions.



My love and prayers goes out to everyone.

Mrs. Hallman led me in every Christmas play, choir, and Easter Pageant the little church of Faith Tabernacle ever put on. She has been a wonderful friend and role model my entire life. Much love and many prayers to Sue, Ted, Tim and the entire family.

Bobbie Hallman was my friend and sister-in-Christ for over forty years. I love her and the entire family. She will remain in my heart for the rest of my life.

Ted, Kimberly, and Amanda:

Let me express my deepest sympathy for the passing of your mother and grandmother. I know that she was a woman all of you loved deeply and trusted. She is with her Lord now and I hope that brings you some peace. Remember the fun times and she will always be with you.

Love to you all, (Aunt Helen)

Love and Prayers to the Hallman family in honer of a very special lady and very dear friend who opened her heart and home to me.I will never forget her christian felloship,and she always said I needed a hug,and I always did.

AUNT BOBBIE'S LIFE WAS A LIVING TESTIMONY FOR THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH WHOM SHE IS NOW PRESENT! HER MEMORY LIVES ON IN THE HEARTS OF THE MANY WHO ACCEPTED THE LORD THROUGH HER MINISTRY. WE WERE ALWAYS BLESSED VISITING HER HOME ON OUR TRIPS TO SOUTH CAROLINA AND ENJOYING HER "SOUTHERN COOKING"



MY EARLIEST RECOLLECTION OF AUNT BOBBIE DATES BACK TO THE EARLY "FORTYS" DURING OUR SUMMER VACATIONS TO THE WHITE FAMILY HOMESTEAD IN FORT MILL,SC.



SHE ALWAYS WAS KIND, LOVING AND GENEROUS TO US ALL. AT THIS EARLY DATE, SHE WAS ALREADY PRAYING TO FOLLOW HER FATHER REV.JOHN R. WHITE, IN THE MINISTRY.

Mom, There is no way I can say all that you mean to me, So I will only say a little. I can never forget the love that you've shown me. This kind of love only comes from above as God's love is shed in our hearts. Your wisdom and insight on the issues of life have been a guiding light to me. Ive seen great leaders of men and armies but you have been led by the Lord, showing others what true leadership really is. Your servant's heart has saved my life, you have shown me the way to the Father by your love.

I'm so humbled by the support and love others continue to pour on us, as our family and loveones come together for this celebration of life in Christ Jesus.

To be absent form this body is to be present with the Lord. There is a lake in heaven where the tears of the saints are stored & I've made you a promise to walk with you hand in hand on that lake. There will be no more tears, no more sorrow...a new heaven & a new earth & forever we will be with the Lord. By His grace, Amen

To my loving aunt Bob, You have always been there for me. Your Godly councel has been paramount in my life. I will never forget your love and laughter that you shared with me. I love all that you stand for and thank you forbirthing such fine outstanding cousins,that I call best friends. Yours in christ, for eternity. nephew Jon Carlile

Dearest Ted & Family:

Please accept my profound sympathy for your family's loss.

May the sympathy of friends and precious memory of your mom help to comfort you at this time.

My Mom

"Words can not express how much I love you!" This is what I often said when I sent her cards. Even though I would search for just the "right" card, it never seem to say exactly how I felt. Now, I find myself in that dilemma once again... How do you say good-bye to someone so wonderful who has impacted your life for over 46 years; to those beautiful blue eyes and that wonderful smile; to a very "Classy" lady; to the precious times you have shared together; to the special occasions and holidays so well spent; to all the good cooking and especially the infamous Macaroni & Cheese; to the singing and awesome piano playing; to someone with so much love for her children, grandchildren and spiritual children??? That is an impossible task but I feel I need to try. So mom, in your honor, let me say first: Thanks for being my Mom!!! You were my best friend, my Christian mentor, my spiritual leader, my supporter, my intercessor, my teacher, my advisor, my shoulder to cry on, my companion, my inspiration, my encourager, my example to live by, my comforter, my hero!!!! And even though I'll see you again in heaven, "words can not express" the emptiness and lonliness that I feel until we met again. I love you always!! May your legacy of knowing God and having a true personal relationship with Him, live on in all of our lives!! Your loving daughter (as you so often wrote), Sue

She is rejoicing with Jesus!! What a life she lived.

GOD BLESS THE FAMILY. LOVE, EVELYN NEUMANN

Bobbi was a wonderful christian person and our spiritual mother. She has gone to be with our precious Lord Jesus. We will miss her on earth but look forward to seeing her again in heaven. Our heartfelt prayers are with her family. Isaiah 57:1.

To The Hallman Family: As you go through this transition in your lives, rest assured that you can cast your cares upon the Lord because He cares for this family.



Know that your mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, etc is resting with the Lord. Psalm 116:15: Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

Even though we live up in michigan, we will always remember the kindness of Aunt Bob every time we visitied.

I have you and your family in my prayer

Ted, please know that my prayers are with you and your family at this time. I'm certain that you can take comfort in knowing that your mother have fought the good fight, finished the race, and have kept the faith and have received the crown of righteousness. I say to you and your family, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. God's love will take you through this.

I am sorry to learn of Bobbie's death. She was a favorite aunt.



Betty Lou Wood Phillips (Corine's dsaughter)

Hello everyone,

Its been a long time since we have all been together on a Sunday afternoon dinner gathering at Aunt Bobs. Yet I can still smell the food

cooking in Aunt Bobs kitchen.

Aunt Bob not only could cook but could sooth away any pain inside when sad.

she knew how to make you laugh and forget your worries!

she always had a big heart and a open home. She was the best Aunt!

I could speak to her about anything and she would listen and be very supportive.

I learned alot about life do's and donts.

Aunt Bob was always a hard worker and Awsome Christian woman! She loved God and her family.

I loved Aunt Bob as my Granny! I often would slip and say Granny instead of Aunt Bob and she would reply, "You can call me Granny".

She always smelled good and had her hair fixed as if she was going in to a beauty pagent. I loved her flamming Red hair & her big heart! She will be sadly missed, yet she will hold strong thoughts in our minds and hearts!

Aunt Bobs memories will be a part of all our lives that will never be forgotten, but lived!



Love & miss everyone!

Susie Priest (Carlile)

Sue & family-May you feel God's unfailing love and comfort in abundance. Our love and prayers.

With Heartfelt Sympathy to the Hallman Family.

My memories of Granny go back for as far as I can remember. They take me to a little road called Soretrue Ave near the Ashley river.



To great family gatherings with the most incredible families in the world.



I can almost smell and taste the food all over the house. The turkeys, hams, and pot roasts that melted in your mouth. The various cakes and pies that were all gone by the end of the celebration.



Music from guitars and the piano still echoe in my mind. The singing, the laughter, and the voice of my granny leading us all in song.



Her voice, her love, the $5 in the bithday card, or the little candies she had in the little glass jar will always be in my mind. They are but a few of the wonderful ways she filled our lives with warmth and love.



I'm not a child anymore. My life has changed. I'm now retired from the army and living in Thailand. I help teach english in a little village close to Cambodia.



I took Granny's photo with me to my class the day she went to see Paa Paw and showed it to the children I teach.



They said she was bueatiful and loved her red hair.



They asked me if I cried and I said yes.



I didn't teach that day. We played and ate their favorite food and had fun.



Thats what Granny would have wanted.



I will miss my granny.

To Aunt Bobbie family.

So sorry to hear about Aunt Bobbie

death. I would like to come for the funeral , I am not well.

Will be praying for you all.

Love Mary / Freeman Wood wife

Uncle Ted and Family: We love you all and know that Aunt Bob is well taken care of. Our prayers are with the entire family. Love, Crystal and Matt

To Sue my the Lord ever be with you in this time of need .your mather lived afull and rich life and tached many peaple my prayer will be with you if I can be of any help just let me know from your friend in Christ love David George

Bobbie was my dad's favorite aunt and I remember how wonderful she was to all of us when my dad (Freeman) died. We will miss you aunt Bobbie, but I know that you and dad are singing in the Gospel Choir in heaven.

To my wonderful sister. I'll always love you...

"Aunt Bob"...what a name for a wonderful Christian women. Thank you for your life-long church service and your dedication to your family which we love so much.

I remember Bobbie as a Christian Lady who was instant to respond to the needs of others. Her vigorous piano style and belt-it-out performance of Hymns impressed this young boy from John's Island. I knew she was a no-nonsense Believer with hard-core committments to the Church of God. She believed the Truth Speaks to those who listen.

Our Sympathy goes out to the entire family. Kay and John Pellegrino
