Mrs. Bobbie Gambrell Obituary

Mrs. Bobbie Ann Gambrell of Tampa, FL stepped into eternity peacefully on Tuesday, February 11, 2025. Funeral Services will be held on Friday, February 28, 2025, 11:00 a.m. at The Center of Manifestation Church, 3102 E. Lake Avenue, Tampa, FL 33610 with Apostle Mark T. Jones, Pastor/Eulogist. Interment will follow in Rest Haven Memorial Park Cemetery, 4615 E. Hanna Avenue, Tampa, FL 33610.

Bobbie Ann was a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend but most importantly, a child of God. Her life and legacy were measured by many things, but her most valuable would be her family. With a total of 8 kids, 25 grandkids, and 7 great-grandkids, you can see where her pride enjoys lies. Originally from Independence, Louisiana, Mrs. Gambrell met her husband, Rafford Gambrell, in Tampa, Florida, while auditioning to be in his band. They fell in love, traveled, then settled down and began growing with their family. Besides the many titles she carried, she was also one of the mothers at the Center for Manifestation and published "grandchildren" books.

She was preceded in death by: her parents, Bertha May Mitchell and James Caldwell; husband, Radford Gambrell; and 2 children, Kenneth and Rhodisha.

She leaves to cherish her profound moments: her 6 children, Tameka Gambrell, Hysim Caldwell, David Caldwell, Beyounka Caldwell, Mary Butler, and Sarah Caldwell; grandchildren, Rodale, Jazmine, Phoenix, Devon, Joseph, Hysim Jr., Khalid, Hysimia, David Jr, Denise, Delrio, Richsare'yonna, Davionna, Kyla, Ja'Mia, Ricque, Dillon, Janiyaa, Naomi, Ty'Naisa, Kayvon, Nevaeh, Kendra, Akira, Yasimia, and Amare; great-grandchildren, Brandon, Josiah, Anias, Prince, Amora, and Zariah; and her close friends and extended family.
