Barbara ‘Bobbi’ Helene Miles

On March 15, 2018, surrounded by family, the good Lord welcomed Barbara “Bobbi” Helene Miles of Rathdrum, Idaho, into his forever-loving arms. Bobbi was the firstborn of seven children to Elizabeth and Nickolaus Bruch on June 30, 1941.

In 1965 she married James “Jim” Craig and together they had four children, whom she loved with all of her heart. They divorced in 1986, but remained best friends and raised their children in Chico, Calif. She then made her way to Idaho. She retired in 2008 from nursing at Spokane Valley Hospital and resided happily in Rathdrum, Idaho.

Bobbi is preceded in death by her mother, Elizabeth; her father, Nickolaus; her daughter, Paula and her granddaughter, Hannah. She is survived by her six siblings; her daughters, Teri and Laura; a son, Darrell; numerous nieces and nephews; countless friends; 10 grandchildren; two great-grandchildren and her beloved dog and best friend, Mazy May.

Those who met her were instantly greeted with her warm smile and caring heart. She had the most contagious laugh and sense of humor that could brighten anyone’s day. She will be missed greatly and forever remain the queen of our hearts.

We will be having a celebration of life at noon on March 31, 2018, at the Timber Coves apartments recreation room, in Rathdrum, Idaho. All are welcome. Please visit Bobbi’s memorial and sign her online guest book at www.belltowerfuneralhome.com.
