Bobbie Ruth Forman

Bobbie Ruth Forman of Mexia, cherished mother and aunt, passed away Saturday, 
May 3, 2014 in Waco. By her request no funeral services will be held. The family 
will have a private ceremony at a later date.

Ms. Bobbie was born April 20, 1937, at home in Teague, to Robert Henry Forman Sr. 
and Martha Ruth (nee Hayes). She graduated from John H. Reagan High School in 
Houston in 1955, and shortly after married Daniel Thomas Courteau and moved to 
Los Angeles. Many years later she felt the tug of her native soil and returned 
to Texas, first to Dallas where she worked for the schools as an office lady, 
before retiring full-time in Mexia.

She is survived by a brother, Gerald, of Houston; nieces, Dorothea Forman of 
Corsicana and JoAnna (Stephen) Studebaker of Mexia; son, Michael David Courteau 
of Mexia, and daughter, Suzanne Courteau of Arcata, Calif.
