Bobbie Jean was born in Purley, TX to Cleve and Mavie Davis on April 5, 1927.  She went to school at Mt. Vernon, TX and graduated from Mt. Vernon High School.   Bobbie married her first and only sweetheart Charles Hogan on September 9, 1945 in Purley, TX.

Bobbie also worked faithfully in the McMurry University Library from the mid 70’s through the mid ‘80s.  From early on she was involved in her church, unselfishly serving her Lord Jesus in many ways: Nursery coordinator, WMU President and church Librarian represent just a few of those service areas.
