Bobbie Sue Roach Fleeman

Bobbie Sue Roach Fleeman, 87, of Manila, widow of Mackey James Fleeman, passed from this life Friday, July 10, 2020, at the Hospice of the Ozarks in Mountain Home. Born in Hornersville, Mo., she was the daughter of the late Walter Owen "W.O." and Mary Nelle Noonan Roach and had been a lifelong Manila resident before making her home in Flippin to live with her daughter and son-in-law. Bobbie was a longtime member of the First Baptist Church in Manila. She loved cooking for her family and was known in the community for her fried pies. She enjoyed working in her yard and adored her kitty cats and grand-puppies. Her pride and joy was having been the owner/operator of the former Village Pizza in Manila from the early '90s until 2000. A tribute to her loving nature was the fact that she played a major role in helping raise her three younger sisters since her father was a commercial fisherman in Ft. Myers, Fla., and was gone for long periods of time. In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her son, Edward Owen Fleeman, and one sister, Kay Harrison.

She is survived by her daughter and husband, Jamie and Jimmy Farrow of Flippin; grandson, Jimmy Farrow, Jr. and wife Kate; two great-granddaughters, Makena Farrow and Iona Farrow, all of Indianapolis, Ind. She also leaves two sisters, Dot Mahan of Bokeelia, Fla., and Nellowen Shumaker of Manor, Texas. She was a beloved aunt to her nieces and nephews.

Graveside services will be 2 p.m. Tuesday in the Manila Cemetery with Rev. James Chipman officiating. Burial will be under the direction of Howard Funeral Service of Manila. 

The family requests lasting memorials be made to St. Jude Childrens Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or Hospice of the Ozarks, 701 Burnett Dr., Mountain Home, AR 72653.
