Jan. 30, 1957–Sept. 10, 2024

Floye “Bobbie” Jones was born Jan. 30, 1957, in Laramie, Wyoming.

She passed away on Sept. 10, 2024, surrounded by family, after a sudden decline in health due to cancer. Bobbie was only 67 years of age.

Bobbie was a larger-than-life, genuine person with a heart of gold. Bobbie was a fighter with an unbreakable spirit. Her love of life radiated in everything she did. Bobbie’s faith in the Lord got her through some tough times. Even after her stroke in 2010, she never gave up learning to walk and talk again, and although she never regained her speech, it didn’t keep her from trying to communicate — she would draw some interesting pictures.

Bobbie had a passion for music, collecting antiques and going to yard sales. She enjoyed the holidays, which she loved to spend with family. Family was everything to her and being around them is what truly made her happy. Aunt Bobbie was definitely one of a kind. You will be forever missed. Rest in peace.

Bobbie is survived by her husband, Charles Jones of Newcastle, Wyoming; daughter, Dianna Hansen; grandson, Cooper Hansen; granddaughter, Halle Hansen from Boise, Idaho; stepdaughter, Ashley (Jason) Adler and step-granddaughter, Emilee Adler of Milliken, Colorado; niece, Carrie (Bobby) Sweet of Newcastle, Wyoming, great-nieces, Allysa Dawson and Brystal Sweet, great-nephew, Landen Engle and a great-great niece Aniveah Engle, all of Newcastle.

Bobbie is preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Chip and Johnny; sister, Judie; and her baby sister, the late Diane Latimer of Newcastle. A remembrance and burial will be held at the Black Hills National Cemetery in Sturgis, South Dakota, at a later date.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” -John 3:16
