Bobbi Cherise Poston

Bobbi Cherise Poston, age 58, of Sparta, Tennessee, passed away on June 16, 2026.

Bobbi was born on August 28, 1967, and spent her life rooted in the communities of Doyle and Sparta, Tennessee. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend whose love for her family was evident throughout her life.

She was preceded in death by her father, Bobby Gene Poston; her stepfather, Larry Doot; her grandparents, James Leo Fields, Alice Lou "Bernice" Fields, William Elmer Poston, and Clara Dee Flatt; and her dear friend, Kim Caldwell, whom she is now reunited with once again.

She is survived by her mother, Jimmy Gail Doot; her sister, Crystal Rohlander; her brother, Danny Poston; her ex-husband and the father of her children, Jeffrey Carson Stoglin; her children, Todd Stoglin, Travis Stoglin, Tosha Teeples, and Tabitha Stoglin; her son-in-law, Michael Teeples; her daughter-in-law, Jessica Stoglin; her cherished grandchildren, Jayla Stoglin, Matthew Stoglin, Morgan Teeples, Ares Stoglin, Roman Teeples, Archer Stoglin, Logan Teeples, Layney Stoglin, and Ozzy Teeples; her beloved childhood friend, Denise Scales; her niece, Ashlyn Adcock, and husband, Rob Adcock; her nephew, Caden Poston; as well as numerous cousins, extended family members, and dear friends.

Bobbi was a spitfire of a woman with a big heart and an even bigger personality. She loved deeply, laughed often, and rarely held back what was on her mind. She could be stubborn, fiercely protective, and completely impossible to ignore. Some people loved her instantly, others took a little longer, but nobody who met Bobbi ever forgot her.

She had a gift for turning ordinary days into stories that would be told for years. Whether she was accidentally climbing into the wrong car, picking on her children and grandchildren, or finding humor in life's everyday chaos, she had a way of making people laugh. Her quick wit, mischievous sense of humor, and ability to laugh at herself were just some of the things that made her unforgettable.

Throughout her life, Bobbi dedicated herself to serving others. She delivered mail for several years and spent countless hours helping coach youth baseball teams, proudly supporting her children and their teammates. She was the kind of person who showed up. Whether someone needed help, encouragement, a meal, a place to stay, or simply someone to listen, she made room for them.

But her greatest calling was being Mom and Grandma.

To her children, she was more than a mother. She was our biggest fan, our fiercest defender, our safe place, and often our best friend. When the rest of the world seemed against us, we knew we could call Mom. No matter the hour, she would answer the phone, listen, tell us the truth whether we wanted to hear it or not, and remind us that we were never alone.

She celebrated our victories as if they were her own and carried our burdens when life became too heavy. Nothing made her prouder than talking about her children and grandchildren, and she never missed an opportunity to brag about them.

Her kindness extended beyond her family. Bobbi was known for opening her home, lending an ear, and offering comfort to those who needed it most. She had a remarkable ability to make people feel welcome, valued, and loved.

Perhaps the greatest testimony to who Bobbi was cannot be found in the stories we tell, but in the way she spent her final day.

Just hours before her passing, she was caring for her mother, Jimmy Gail Doot, who is currently in hospice. While many people spend their lives talking about love, Bobbi lived it. Even in the final hours of her own life, she was giving her time, her strength, and her heart to someone she loved.

If there were ever any question about the love between a daughter and her mother, the answer can be found in those final hours. Bobbi's last acts on this earth were acts of love, devotion, and service. Even at the end, she was still taking care of someone else. That was who Bobbi was.

Life was not always kind to Bobbi, but she refused to stay down for long. She faced hardships, heartbreaks, disappointments, and struggles the same way she faced everything else, with grit, determination, stubbornness, and a laugh that somehow made things feel a little lighter. She was still living life, still making plans, still loving her family, and still finding reasons to smile.

Bobbi never cared much about being liked by everyone. She spoke her mind, stood up for what she believed in, and fiercely defended the people she loved. She understood something many people never learn: a life well-lived is not measured by how many people approve of you, but by how deeply you love and how much of yourself you give to others. Those who knew her best loved her for exactly who she was, flaws and all, and would not have changed a thing.

The family takes comfort in knowing that Bobbi is reunited with those she loved and missed, especially her dear friend Kim Caldwell. We can only imagine the laughter echoing once again now that they are together.

Though our hearts are broken, we are grateful for every laugh, every lesson, every memory, every phone call, every hug, and every moment we were blessed to have with her. Her absence leaves a space that can never be filled.

There will be birthdays, holidays, ball games, graduations, and ordinary days when we reach for the phone before remembering she is no longer there. There will always be a part of us that misses her. But there will also always be a part of her in us, in the lessons she taught, the strength she gave us, the laughter she shared, and the love she poured into her family.

For that, we will be forever grateful.

The family will receive friends Sunday June 21, 2026 from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00p.m. At Thurman Funeral Home.

Funeral services will be held on Monday June 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at Thurman Funeral Home interment will follow at Oaklawn Cemetery. Officiating will be Bro. Houston Lee Dallas Austin.

The family would like to recognize Todd Stoglin, Travis Stoglin, Michael Teeples, Matthew Stoglin, Morgan Teeples, and Ares Stoglin for serving as pallbearers.

The family asks that Bobbi be remembered not for the way she left this world, but for the way she lived it, with humor, grit, compassion, loyalty, and a fierce love for her family. If Bobbi could leave one final message behind, it would probably be simple: love your family, laugh whenever you can, stand up for the people you care about, and don't spend your life worrying about what other people think.
