Here is my grandpa Stubbs obituary, he will be missed so much, but I am glad that he will be doing his yard work in Heaven, I love you grandpa!!!
Bobbie Mickelson Stubbs age 81, was born on Sept. 30, 1928 in Parowan Utah to Alma Fredrick Stubbs and Bessie Sue Mickelson Stubbs. He was welcomed home into the loving arms of Heavenly Father, his parents, brothers and granddaughter. Bob fought a courageous battle with cancer since 1997. He attended Parowan High School and graduated in 1946. Then served in the U.S. Air Force for four years. While in the Air Force he married his sweetheart Betty Louise Wilcocks on March 22, 1951 they were married for 58 wonderful years.
Following his Military Service he worked at Columbia Iron Mines, the State Road and retired from Mercury Test Site in Nevada. He loved hard work and was a devoted family man. Bob loved his grandchildren dearly. His fondest memories were going to Strawberry to spend time at their mountain cabin he built with family and enjoying his grandkids and friends at warm springs. Bob was a man of service and dependability after retiring he served on the Parowan City water board for many years. He took pride in placing flags and crosses at the Parowan cemetery for Memorial Day. He was a patriotic man, and a member of the American Legion Post 20, and Sons of Utah Pioneers. Bob was a member of the LDS church. His hobbies and joy in life was working hard in his garden and helping others. In later years he was known in the community for his lawn care service and enjoyed the friendships he gained through it. We will all miss his garden and his great grandkids will miss his trips to the farms to see the new animals.

One sister Sue Bess Kearns, brother Donald (Hanna Rae) Stubbs Kearns, sister in-law Ramona Stubbs Parowan, Clair Alice Stubbs Ogden.
