Bobby Schultz, an SDP member since 1992, passed away on April 2, 2016. She was a charter member of the San Gabriel Valley Tole and Decorative Artists (SGVTDA).
Bobby touched many people through the years and was a very memorable personality to say the least. If you had the chance to paint with Bobby or join her at HOOT or any of the other seminars and conventions she attended you would likely remember her. She had a laugh that filled the room. She loved to wear cute, silly hats and could be counted on to wear jewelry appropriate to the holidays.
Over the last 25 years, Bobby was an active member, board member, and tireless volunteer for SGVTDA. She was always generous and donated her time, painted objects, and donated money for causes to support the chapter. She led our programs to teach us new techniques, one of which was her beautiful roses. Everyone wanted to learn how to paint “Bobby’s” sweet little roses. She coordinated displays in local libraries to promote the art of decorative painting and put on the craziest themed events for member rewards parties. The beautiful painting supplies that were such a part of Bobby’s life have been shared with our members through the generosity of her family. We will miss you dearly, Ms. Bobby. She resided in Arcadia, Calif.
