Roberta “Bobbie” I. Luallen, age 89, of Perrysburg, passed away on Wednesday, May 12, 2021, at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Toledo. She was born on April 17, 1932, in Perrysburg, to Harry S. and Lavearl M. (Shanks) Friess. On July 29, 1955, she married William “Art” Luallen in Perrysburg. Bobbie and Art have raised three children and celebrated nearly 45 years of marriage, before Art’s passing in April of 2000.

She was a homemaker, taking care of her husband and three children. Beyond her own family, “Aunt Bea” enjoyed her time as a nanny over a number of years for the Peshke/O’Bryant families. In her later years, Bobbie worked at Mini Engine Repair Inc. Over her 31 years at Mini-Engine, she became ∏ affectionately known as the “Cookie Lady.” She enjoyed baking, cooking, playing bingo, going to casinos (and the occasional trip to Las Vegas) and feeding the wild birds and squirrels. Her greatest love always was her family, especially her grandchildren.

Bobbie is survived by her daughters, Joyce Luallen-Black and Barbara (Michael) Smith, both of Perrysburg; son, William (Cynthia) Luallen of Kentucky; grandchildren, Christine Black, Erik (Ashley) Smith, Spencer Luallen and Mitchell Luallen; greatgrandchildren, Emma Smith and Harrison Smith, and sisters, Shirley Ogle, and Bonnie Knittle. In addition to her husband, Art, she was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Phyllis Jarvis, and her beloved aunt, Helen Beadle.

Bobbie was laid to rest next to Art at a public graveside service, at 11 a.m., Saturday, May 15, in Fort Meigs Cemetery, Perrysburg. Officiating was Pastor James Budke. Marsh and Marsteller Funeral Home assisted the family.
