She loved to Drag Race. She and Jim spent the better part of twenty years racing her 1967 Mustang. They traveled as far as British Columbia and most of the state of Oregon.

She also loved to help people, no matter what time day or night, with health problems or what ever the need might be. She often gifted them with her hand made knitted hats and scarves.

Her dogs Dauby and Wren were the beneficiaries of her love and affection, however she rarely met a dog she did not like.

When time and health permitted she was also a very active member of the American Legion Auxiliary servicing as secretary. Under her leadership, the Auxiliary collected and donated over 100 blankets to veterans.

Bobby was preceded by her father Robert Neville. She is survived by her husband of 30 years James Reed; her best friend Dyana Villella; Mother Marylin Neville; sisters Cheryl Neumann and Barbara Riggs; many nieces and nephews.
