Barbara Sharen “Bobbie” Jordan, 84, of Parkville, MO passed away peacefully Monday, January 30, 2023 with her loving family by her side at NorthCare Hospice House. Barbara was the 6th of 9 children born to James Louis and Margaret “Ada” (Higgins) Keating on October 16, 1938 in Blaine, Kansas.
Bobbie was united in marriage with Joe Jordan on August 16, 1958. Together they had three sons, Tim, Todd and Troy. She was preceded in death by her husband Joe, three sons Tim, Todd and Troy, both parents and eight siblings. She is survived by 9 grandchildren (Tatum, Alex, McKinsey, Tess, Tyler, Shannon, Gabriel, Teddi, and Emilee) and 4 great-grandchildren (Van, Layla, Elam, and Cal).
Bobbie enjoyed spending time with her family and being involved with her community American Legion Parkville Post#318, Parkville VFW Post#7356 and supporting the Senior Helpers of Platte County. She loved sitting on the front porch with her dog Farley, playing slot machines at the casino, and reading books in her favorite recliner chair. She also enjoyed socializing with others on social media and making her famous chocolate cake. Despite many obstacles, Bobbie’s unshakeable strength and optimism allowed her to live a complete, loving, and adventure-filled life surrounded by friends and family. Bobbie’s smile and sense of humor will be deeply missed by all that knew and loved her.
The family will receive friends for Visitation Thursday, February 9, 2023 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Meyers Northland Chapel in Parkville, MO. In lieu of flowers Memorial contributions are suggested to the American Stroke Foundation. Memories of Bobbie and condolences to the family may be shared at meyersfuneralchapel.com

Never meet a person with more optimism, courage, energy or good will than Bobbie. I will miss our visits when I’m back in town, but now she’s with Joe & the boys; great people all. God Bless you Bobbie. Rest in Peace.
So sorry to hear of Bobbi’s death. She was truly an inspiration to all who knew her. Rest in peace, Bobbi!
Having lost a son myself, I have been in awe of and respectful of how positive Bobbie was able to remain through the horrific experiences of losing 3 sons. I cannot imagine that level of pain. “I’m still alive and I’m gonna keep living “ she’d say.
To say she was fighter is so understated. She’s certainly a testament to the power of positive thinking and making the most of what life threw her way.
so glad I meet her, we lived across the street for 14 teen year, from her home, what a great lady .happy so sweet and got around well in her chair. She was sweetness and love. hope to see you on the other side .love to you. god bless your soul.
What a vibrant woman unafraid to enjoy life! Always enjoyed our conversations on social media. She will truly be missed!
One of the most kindest sweetest human beings.That I ever met on this earth.Bobbie had a heart of gold,and would do anything for others.This earth lost an Angel and heaven gained one.Rest in peace sweet lady.Love you to the moon and back.Until we we meet again girlfriend.Fly High with Joe and the Boys.
I’ve never met anyone as full of life and love. I met Bobbie as a cleaning person for the elderly in 2002. We became good friends. I was so blessed to be Bobbie’s friend. I’ll miss her terribly and love her always.
So sorry to hear of Bobbie passing. She was a wonderful fixture in the neighborhood, always having a kind or encouraging word to say. I always enjoyed visiting with her online or if I was in the neighborhood. I’m sure Joe and the boys welcomed her home with loving arms. She will be missed.

I will always remember this sweet lady. She was my first client and I loved her so deeply. She was funny, always trying to “get me a man”, and just overall the most kindest person on Earth. I’m lucky to have known you for three years. I wished I could’ve known you longer and shared more memories with you. I wished I had known about your services because I would’ve been there. But I’ll see you again someday.
