"Sister" Bass; her grandchildren, Rodney Smith, Cardinal Archbishop Cassandra R. Smith, Angela Flagg, Felicia Harrell, and A. J. Flagg. She also leaves a host of great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews who will miss her dearly.

By no means could Mrs. Bobbie Ambles-Etterson's numerous contributions to her family and community be captured in these few lines. She significantly impacted every life God allowed in her presence. For that, we are eternally grateful to Him for the precious jewel that He gave unto us.
