APPLETON — Bobbie Jo Denman, 39, of Appleton, passed away June 6, 2015, surrounded by her loved ones. She was born July 19, 1975, to Herb and Sandra Eggen of Washington. She attended local schools and graduated from Medomak Valley High School.

Bobbie Jo met the love of her life, Jim Denman, atop of blueberry hill at the age of 13 while raking blueberries. Their love was like no other, and the two married in 1992. They made their home in Appleton, where they raised their two sons, Billy-Ray and Dylan.

Bobbie loved being a mom to her boys. She homeschooled them for most of their education. Being their biggest fan, she never missed a game and sometimes even showed up with pom poms and face paint ready to cheer them on. While she only had two sons, she was a mother to many.

The only thing Bobbie enjoyed more than being a mom was being “Noni” to her grandson, Khyver James. The two shared a very special bond together. He was the light of her life. She was also very excited about the upcoming birth of her second grandson, due this month.

Bobbie Jo was one of a kind. She was devoted to Jesus and her many, many friends. She would give you the shirt off her back but would never part with her lip or eye liner. She was an avid hunter and took pride in sharing this passion with her family. Her stubborn nature, strength and love for others got her through the toughest times in life. Bobbie was eternally grateful for all the support she and her family received during the last year-and-a-half. She was funny, loved to laugh and her presence alone would light up any room. To know Bobbie Jo was to love Bobbie Jo and be loved by her.

Bobbie Jo was predeceased by her father, Herb Eggen; and her brother-in-law, Tim Denman. She is survived by her husband, Jim; her children, Dylan and Billy-Ray Denman and Anne Barbour, her daughter at heart and mother of her grandsons. Also surviving Bobbie Jo is her mother, Sandra Eggen of Washington; her siblings, Eric Eggen and his wife, Jana, Becky Jo Eggen and Brent Boynton, and Billie Jo Philbrook and her husband, Larry; her father- and mother-in-law, James and Toni Denman; her husband's siblings, Susan and Steven Bogan, Ronald Denman, Diane Tyrrell and Wilson Tirado, and Michael and Jackie Denman; her nieces and nephews, Hana, Caden, Madison, Stella, Vera, Erin, Alyssa, Jill, Ashley, Michael, Rebecca, Carly, Zachary, Amanda, Holly, Jethro, Miriam and Natalie; as well as several great-nieces and great-nephews.
