Bobbi Jo Bernau, age 41, was born March 26, 1975, to Allen and Linda Bernau in Kalispell. BJ passed away March 8, 2017, after a courageous three-year battle with cancer, surrounded by her loving family.

Bobbi attended Evergreen school and graduated from Flathead High School in 1993. She continued her studies at FVCC. Bobbi worked as a CNA doing home health care and loved the work she did helping others.

Having Turner’s syndrome, Bobbi was an advocate for getting Turner’s recognized for the city and state making February Turner’s Syndrome Awareness Month. The butterfly is the symbol of hope for girls with Turner’s and has long since been her inspiration.

Bobbi will be lovingly remembered as an outgoing, cheerful, positive soul. She treasured spending time with family and friends. Bobbi would spend countless hours driving her “AWS-MANT” Subaro around town shopping and finding the best deals! As she was often heard saying, “it was only three dollars!” Spending time at the family cabin on Duck Lake, riding on the Harley with her dad wearing her Captain America stars and stripes helmet, boating, camping, fishing and going to the movies were some of her favorite activities.

She was preceded in death by her brother Jeremy, Grandparents George and Irene McClain and Roy Bernau, Aunt Renee Olmstead and Uncle Pat Buls.

She is survived by her parents, brother Jeff (Liz) nephews Blade and Tarek, Grandmother Lavaughn Bernau, aunts and uncles; Jeanette (Randy) Feller, Patti (Ken) Bullman, Tom (Charlotte) McClain, Bill (Ruth) McClain, Donna (Ernie) Freebury and numerous cousins, extended family members, and cherished friends which included her Turner’s Syndrome Sisters from around the world.
