Bobbie Rachael Smith Kincade - Madison Parish, Louisiana

From Shreveport Times December 2, 2015

SHREVEPORT, LA - Bobbie Rachael Smith Kincade lived a long and charitable life, full of determination and pluck. Born December 23, 1927, in Tallulah, Bobbie moved with her family to Shreveport at age 15, joined Noel Memorial Methodist Church, and graduated from C. E. Byrd HS in 1945. She attended Louisiana Tech, where she worked in the Tech library and played the title role in the stage play Rebecca, before graduating in January 1949 with a B. A. in Education.

Bobbie married Lee (Buddy) Kincade, a geologist, on April 7, 1950, and set up homes in North and South Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, West Texas, and the Texas Gulf Coast, before resettling back in Shreveport in 1971. Along the way she worked as a social worker, taught school, sold real estate, joined the local Methodist Church wherever the family lived, and made long and abiding friends, many of whom have predeceased her, as has Lee, her husband of 64 years, in October 2014; her parents Joseph Clinton and Willie Cagle Smith; and her older brothers and sister: Joe Smith, Bill Smith and Lorraine Loper.

Bobbie is survived by daughter Lee Ann Horn, her husband Walter, and grandchildren Marci and Matt; and son John Kincade, his wife Leslie, and grandsons Sean and Lucas; sister Dixie Keeley; 12 nieces and nephews including her beloved Shreveport nieces and nephew—Diane Smith, Sondra Alexander and her husband Matt, Alison Rinehart, and Jeff Loper and his wife Veronica; lifelong friend and cousin, Ramona Haire and her family of Rayville; niece Audia Davis; and cousin-in-law Joan Ledbetter of Tennessee.

Bobbie was a long time member of the Friendly Circle and Mothers Sunday School Class at Noel, the Shreveport Geological Society Auxiliary, and the Women's Department Club. She traveled to England, Scotland, New England, the Pacific Northwest, the Grand Canyon, the beaches of Acapulco, and even Cuba, but most enjoyed time with family and friends in the mountains and at the beach. She cherished her God and Savior, her marriage and late husband, her children and grandchildren, her parents and family, her friends, her church, and her independence.

Bobbie's friends and family are invited to celebrate her life at a memorial service 11 am, Friday, December 4, at the Noel Memorial UMC Lane Chapel, 520 Herndon Street, with an all-are-welcome luncheon at the Church following the service. Memorials can be made to Noel Memorial UMC or the Broadmoor Branch of the Shreve Memorial Library.
