Bobbie Wheat

In the year and month of February 1923, the Great Jehovah God loaned to Robert and Paralee Furlow a little girl angel. The happy couple named the angel Bobbie. The angel grew into a beautiful lady. She married Chelmers Van Wheat Jr. The marriage lasted 61 years, 1 month and 9 days until God called his angel home Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2011, when her work on Earth was finished. The family extends special thanks to the employees at Baton Rouge General Medical Center, Sherwood Manor rehabilitation home and The Carpenter House of St. Joseph Hospice. Thanks also to Dr. Nicholas Campo and Dr. Mary Thomas. She leaves behind her husband, three children and a grandchild.
