Bobbie Landreth

Bobbie Nell "Bobba" Landreth went to be with Jesus on January 22, 2022, after a

long and courageous battle with ovarian cancer. She died peacefully at her home

surrounded by her family, close friends, and her Pastor (Bro. Rodney Jones).

She was born August 22, 1937, in Brandon, Mississippi to Wallace and Myrtle

Noland as the first of four girls. She graduated from Brandon High School where

she was a cheerleader and selected Most Witty time after time. Throughout

Elementary and High School, she never missed a single day of school. She

graduated from Mississippi College in 1958 with a Bachelor's Degree in

Elementary Education.

Her passion was teaching, and she loved each

every one of her students. Her teaching career spanned over 60 years teaching at

Southwest Academy, Hinds County Public Schools, Antwerp International School

in Belgium. After retiring, she continued to substitute at Hartfield Academy until she was

82 years old. All her students adored and cherished her. She also traveled to

India, The Czech Republic, Slovenia, and other European Countries on a Fullbright

Scholarship.

She married the love of her life, Shedd Landreth on July 18, 1959. They met at her

best friend's wedding and Shedd said she was THE prettiest thing he had ever

seen. They were married for 62 years.

She was small in stature, however spunky with a larger than life, bubbly personality that

made everyone that met her fall in love with her instantly. Bobbie never, ever

met a stranger and brought warmth and humor to everyone.

She led an extraordinary life that involved traveling the World and even lived with

Shedd for over four years in Belgium.

Bobbie was an extremely talented seamstress, a huge Elvis fan, and avid

Braves and Freddie Freeman fan. She loved her family, especially her

Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. She spent many days watching them at

swim meets, baseball games and traveling with them to Florida to the beach.

The beach was indeed her "Happy Place". In fact, her idea of Heaven was being on the beach with crystal clear blue water, white sand that didn't stick to your feet

and salt water that wouldn't sting your eyes.

But, most of all she loved Jesus and steadfastly served Him at Alta Woods Baptist

Church, Van Winkle Baptist Church, Church of the Highlands, Bragg St. House of Prayer and

Oakdale Baptist Church.

She is survived by her husband, Shedd Young Landreth; her son, Robert Landreth

(Allison), her daughter, Wendy Stewart (Steve); Grandchildren, Morgan Lowery

(Brady); Parker Stewart and Sloane Stewart; Great Grandchildren, Banks, Barron

and Mary Roberts Lowery. Sisters; Carole Newman (Bill), Linda Hayman, and

Dadie Purvis (Don); and a host of nieces and nephews and very special cousins.

The family will receive friends for visitation at Oakdale Baptist Church at 1872

Highway 471, Brandon, MS, 39047, from 10am-12pm on January 25, 2022, with

the service to follow at the church at 12:00pm. In lieu of flowers, the family

would greatly appreciate memorials to one of the following: Oakdale Baptist

Church and/or Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance.
