February 11, 2015

Mrs. Pease was a remarkable person who owned and operated Bobby’s Hobby Lobby, a Westminster institution on Main Street in the middle of downtown, for several generations of Carroll Countians growing-up in an era long gone by.

Several years ago Mrs. Pease and Bobby’s Hobby Lobby was the focus of one or two articles I wrote for the Sunday Carroll Eagle section of the Baltimore Sun.

According to information e-mailed by a family member, her obit reads as follows. You may also find her obit and family arrangements at Fletcher Funeral & Cremation Services, P.A., in Westminster. Her obituary appears here: http://www.fletcherfuneralhome.net/obits/obituary.php?id=639899
