On November 28, 1922 Barbara Wanda (Bobbie) Horne McMinn was born to Simon P. and Lucille Pauley Horne natives of Coleman County. At age 05 Bobbie moved with the family to Coleman. Bobbie graduated from Coleman High School, earned a Bachelor's Degree from North Texas State and Master's Degree in Library Science from Peabody Institute in Nashville, Tennessee. Bobbie returned to North Texas State University to work in the library. Here Bobbie met and married Phil McMinn. While Phil was working on a Doctorate Degree at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina Bobbie began the most important part of her life motherhood. Bobbie and Phil returned to Texas two weeks after the birth of their only son. Bobbie taught school in Mertzon and Mozelle before starting her career at Coleman I.S.D. Bobbie retired after 44 years with the Coleman Independent School District. Bobbie was never idle. Bobbie was past-president of Delta KAPPA GAMMA, member of the Retired Teachers Association, Master Gardener, an election judge and long-time member of First Baptist Church in Coleman where she served as Sunday School Teacher. All these things she loved but her passion was her family.
Bobbie is survived by her son John Petty and wife Diann McMinn of Winters; three Grandchildren Casey McMinn of Abilene, Stacy McMinn of Lubbock and Scarlet Van Zandt of San Angelo; and five Great-Grandchildren: Jacob McMinn of Winters, Lexis and Lilly McMinn of Lubbock and Chloe and Hunter Van Zandt of San Angelo. Bobbie is also survived by her beloved brother Max Horne and his wife Billie of Coleman.
Bobbie's love was extended to her nieces, nephews and cousins.
Bobbie was frugal with herself but generous with family and friends. Bobbie never put on "airs," but she was always a Lady with Class.
