Bobi Aguilar Obituary (1963 - 2025)

Bobi Lynn Aguilar (née Stone), 61, of Columbus, Ohio, passed away on February 22, 2025 at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She was born Friday, July 12, 1963 to James and Dorothy "Dottie" Stone in Goleta, California, and raised in Porterville, California. She is preceded in death by her father James and her best friend Sandy. She is survived by her mother Dottie, her older sisters Lisa and Lori, her two children Rebecca and Erik, and her many nieces and nephews. Bobi loved her family very much and enjoyed sharing stories of her life growing up as well as stories about her time in the United States Army. She also was an avid fan of movies and television, with a keen memory for actors and scenes and an enduring appreciation of classic television such as I Love Lucy and the Three Stooges. Bobi also adored animals and had many beloved pets over her life — even if they sometimes drove her crazy — with a particular affection for cockatiels and cats. A quote from a TV she enjoyed, 'Put a bird on it!' described her tastes well, and one of her favorite wild birds was the cardinal. Bobi's love and concern for those around her and her attentiveness with regards to how they were doing and what was going on in their lives always overcame her general shyness, and her humor, gentle input in conversation and wisdom will all be dearly missed. Her selflessness and hard work helped bring up everyone around her, and she will endure in memory of how she lived. A gathering of her loved ones will occur Saturday March 8, 2025. In lieu of flowers, planting a tree through the Arbor Day Foundation sponsored here or donating to a melanoma research foundation would do much to honor Bobi's memory and help someone else in need.
