Bobbie is preceded in death by her loving husband, John Sr., parents, Chin Sop Ko and San Kum Lee of South Korea, brother, Kwang Ju Ko of South Korea and her sister, You Ok Ko of Chicago, Illinois, and her sister Betty K. Rosen of New Llano, Louisiana.
Bobbie and John met when he was first stationed in Korea from 1960-63. They married in 1962 and built a wonderful life together from then on. Bobbie loved to cook for her family, gardening, and tending to her beautiful rose bushes. She loved her home in Leesville and kept it proudly. She and John formed an enduring bond over his military career and their love for each other spanned over 59 years. They settled in Leesville, Louisiana and created lasting friendships in a community who embraced them with open arms. She worked at West Leesville Elementary School until she retired. Over the course of 20 years, she created lasting friendships with the staff and her fellow co-workers. She supported John throughout their marriage and was proud of his service to the military and his service as a Deputy Sheriff in Vernon Parish. She watched her sons grow up and was often seen at their baseball games cheering for them from the side. She understood the value of education and she was especially proud of her sons who both served as career military officers.
Those left to cherish her memory are her sons, John Clady II (Joy) of Scottsdale, Arizona; and Tom Clady (Stacy) of Harker Heights, Texas; grandchildren, Jake Clady, Mark Clady, Kate Clady, Paul Clady, Kristen Clady and other extended family members in Chicago, Illinois, San Antonio, Texas, and Sycamore, Ohio.
