Tillie Rose Hicks "Touchie" Bobo, of Little Rock, died Monday, March 28, 2005.
She was born in Memphis to the late James Hunter and Ida Mae West Hicks.
While Touchie was with her family in Houston she met and later married Cecil Strauss Bobo who died in 1987.
She and Cecil moved to Little Rock in the '40s and she became a very active member of First United Methodist Church where she was a charter member of the Alter Guild, and a member of the Bethel Sunday School Class.
