Death Certificate
OBITUARY FOR ROBERTA (BOBBIE) ELLEN WATKINS (CREGUER)
Roberta Ellen Watkins (Creguer), fondly known as Bobbie, passed away peacefully 
in her sleep, at her home in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, on Friday, August 24, 
2014.  Bobbie was 82 years old.
Bobbie was born June 17, 1932 to Peter and Celina (Cyr) Creguer in Clare MI.  
Bobbie attended Clare High School, building many fine memories of her life in 
Clare.   Upon graduation, Bobbie worked in various positions throughout 
Michigan, including as a Telephone Operator with “Ma Bell”, and as a Sales 
Representative of Dental Equipment during the late 1950’s.  In 1961, following 
a horrible automobile accident resulting in the death of her best friend, 
Bobbie decided to escape Michigan winters, and headed to Los Angeles CA.  
While in Redondo Beach CA, Bobbie began her career in Real Estate Sales, and 
through her apartment manager met George “CLARK” Watkins around 1963.  Clark 
and Bobbie dated for several years.   On July 24, 1970, they were married at 
the “La Venta Inn” in Palos Verdes Estate, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.    
Clark and Bobbie shared a wonderful marriage, filled with love, commitment and 
fun.  With their mutual love of the ocean, they chose to live the rest of their 
years in Rancho Palos Verdes CA, where George Clarke Watkins passed on August 
23, 1991 of lung cancer.  As a Widow, Bobbie grieved heavily the loss of 
Clark.  She would often say that she would “dance and dance the night away” 
with Clark again someday.   
Bobbie never lacked offering her opinion to everyone.  Her quick-wit and drive 
to see the world become a better place meant she would share her opinion on 
everything.  Her tenaciousness judgement covered all topics, from the best way 
to make her famous lemon bars, to how to Balance the National Debt.  Bobbi’s 
high spirits, and strong will, along with her drive to make the world right, 
led to her love of politics.  Her conservative position and respect for the 
military was evident in her support of both the Republican National Committee, 
and many various military organizations.
Bobbie leaves behind her brother Thomas Creguer of Clare, and her sister Rita 
Charron (Creguer) of Ingleside IL, as well as many nieces and nephews.  Bobbie 
passing precedes her sisters Lucille Kowatch, and Marguerite Marrone, and her 
brother Paul Creguer.
