Roberta “Bobbie” Lee Albright, 78, passed away on June 2, 2018 at Hiland Hospice Cottage in Petoskey, MI.

She was born on October 9, 1939 in Charlevoix to Hugh W. and Catherine L. (Smith) Mayne.

Bobbie grew up in Charlevoix and graduated from Charlevoix High School in 1957. After high school she attended Davenport Institute in Grand Rapids, MI.

After Bob retired from the Navy they settled in San Diego, CA where Bobbie worked as a commercial property manager for 18 years. In 1993 they moved to Tucson, AZ where they resided until 2007 when they moved back home to Charlevoix. Bobbie enjoyed bowling, quilting, reading, Mah Jongg, genealogy (she was a descendant of two Mayflower passengers), and sipping a glass of wine on the front porch on a summer afternoon.
