Everyone who knew Bobbi Miller always noticed her uniqueness and love for life. She was a Sociology professor at Lamar State College Orange for 25+ years. She was recognized more than once for her astounding achievements in providing though-provoking real-life experiences for her students. Also making several appearances in local newspapers for her unorthodox teaching style which inspired her students to experience true compassion for the less fortunate in our society.

She spent her life serving Jesus Christ. Bobbi loved the Lord, and served in the High Island Baptist Church. She actively participated in several mission trips to Belize and Mexico, and was one of 3 members in a street ministry in Beaumont, Texas.  She was an example of Christian faith to her family, students, colleagues, and friends. Always helping many of her students and family members gain a positive perspective toward bettering their lives. She was an eccentric who loved living life outside the lines to cultivate an awareness of the futility of stereotyping individuals. She was truly a "Happy Hippie!" Her family, friends, colleagues, and students will always remember her with love, admiration, and appreciation for the humor, kindness and love that she gave with her whole heart. She devoted herself to her children, grandchildren, and students.

Her final mission in this life was to be an anonymous "Blessing Angel". When she saw a need, she would fulfill it without anyone knowing it was her. Her mission here on earth is now completed, and she has entered into heavenly happiness, rest, and peace with Jesus.
