In 1970, she graduated from Marysville High School. In 1976, she married her soulmate, Wayne Price. She lived her life serving her community and playing an active and vital role that will be missed by many. From 1980-87, Bobbi served on the Marysville City Council. In 1984, she became a dispatcher for the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office where she was still employed and in recent years became the Communications Sergeant and Clerk for the Sheriff’s Office. During her time at the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office, Bobbi became active with the Kansas Criminal Justice Information System Committee (KCJIS). In 1989, she was elected to the USD 364 School board and served for 12 years. Bobbi served on the Koester House Advisory Board since 1989. One of her proudest accomplishments was being sworn in as a Judge and presiding over several municipalities in northeast Kansas for the last 20 years. In 2016, she was elected President of the Marysville Alumni Association and was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary. Bobbi had a lot of passion for people, she spoke to everyone she came in contact with, and she believed in treating everyone the same. She called it like she saw it and you didn’t wonder where you stood with her. She was kind, friendly, assertive, compassionate, fair, charismatic and was a leader. She was always ready to have fun and had the most contagious laugh that you could hear from far away. She looked forward to the Marysville Alumni weekend every year and reminiscing of her high school years. Bobbi loved the holidays and loved to decorate her house for the corresponding holiday, and it was always big and bold. She loved her back yard and looked forward to every spring and summer as her and Wayne would pick out plants for the backyard and get it just the way they wanted it for the summer months. Getting together for family events was important to Bobbi, she loved her children and her grandchildren and always had a story about each of them. She leaves a monumental void in the community and one that will be hard to fill. Everyone that met her has a “Bobbi” story. Survivors include her husband, Wayne Price; two ornery Labrador Retrievers, “Lucy” and “Moon Pie”; children, Thomas “T.L.” (Carol) Price, Topeka, Candace Price, Kansas City, Holland Price, Parker (Janelle) Price and Liberty (Shannon) Price-Obley, all of Marysville; grandchildren, Alexia Price, Mason Price, Peyton Price, Ayden Price, Ashlyn Price and Lucian Obley; mother-in-law, Wihlma Price, Hastings, NE; brothers and sisters-in-law, Bruce (Sue) Price, Hastings, NE, Jim (Tammy) Price, Grand Island, NE, and their extended families; siblings, Connie (Wally) Waldman, Clay Center, and Bryce (Paula) Urban, Clay Center.
