Obituary

Bobbie was born in Waterloo, Iowa to James H. Brooks & F. Gilberta Rose, their only child.  She graduated from West Waterloo High School in 1960, attended Colorado Women’s College in Denver, Colorado and received her B.S. degree in Medical Technology at the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas.  While in Galveston, she met and married James Allen Boger, M.D.  In 1973 when he accepted a position in Pediatrics at Methodist Dallas Central Hospital, they moved to the East Kessler Park neighborhood where invitations to her dinner club and parties were highly coveted. Her med tech career spanned 8 years at Parkland’s Hematology Lab, at UT-Southwestern Medical School’s Organ Donor & Transplant program and 14 years at Medical City Hospital’s Microbiology Department.  She helped the Dallas Police Department establish their 1st Offender Drug Program, and she was a volunteer with doping control at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. Bobbie was actively involved with the First United Methodist Church, going on mission trips to Haiti and throughout Latin America, a member of the UMW Ruth Circle, teaching Sunday School, sewing altar cloths and rail cushions and crocheting prayer shawls.  With the Happy Hookers, she knit hats for chemotherapy patients and wove plastic mats for homeless people to sleep on. She was a 55-year member of P.E.O., an organization providing scholarship opportunities for furthering the education of women.  She was also a 24-year volunteer with the Byron Nelson Golf Classic, as well as an ardent volunteer with the Dallas Symphony and the Dallas Opera. She will be remembered most for her generosity in helping others and making this world a kinder place than she found it.  A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, November 23, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. in the main sanctuary of First United Methodist Church located at 1928 Ross Ave, Dallas, TX 75201. Bobbie was preceded in death by her parents and her son David Vincent Boger.  She is survived by her son James Robert Boger and two granddaughters Arielle and Emily Boger. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bobbie Boger’s honor to P.E.O. Chapter ET, Carroll Baker, Treasurer, 1824 Marina Point Court, Frisco, Texas 75036.

    Bobbie was so kind. As a new member of PEO Chapter ET I only knew her briefly but she was a warm and gracious person and I will miss her.

    We got to know Bobbie for just the past 6 years through her friendship with Elaine Hempel. Bobbie was always a cheerful and positive person and we enjoyed her company. Our condolences to her family and loved ones.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
