Sobbing, Julie Jo Lininger Griffith - Funeral services for Julie Sobbing, age 52 of Bedford, who died Monday, January 19, 2009 at the Methodist Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska will be held Friday, January 23, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. at the New Life Missionary Church in Bedford. Visitation will be Thursday at the Ritchie Funeral Home from 3 to 7 with the family greeting friends from 5 to 7. Interment will be held in the White Oak Cemetery in Pickering. Instead of flowers the family requests memorials be given in Julie’s name. Memories can be shared with the family at www.ritchiefuneralhome.com. Arrangements were entrusted to the Ritchie Funeral Home of Bedford.

Julie Jo (Lininger) Sobbing was born on February 17, 1956 to Elmer and Charlotte (Hord) Lininger in Sterling, Colorado. Shortly after, the family moved to northwest Missouri, where she would grow up and graduate in 1974 from Fillmore High School, in Fillmore, Missouri. On January 23, 1978 she was united in marriage with Floyd Wilbur Griffith and moved to Bedford. Julie’s pride and joy were her three children Lori Jo (1978), James Earl (1980) and Randall Thomas (1985). She later married William (Bill) Sobbing on August 23, 1993 and gained a stepson Jim Sobbing, daughter-in-law Wanda and granddaughter Rita.

Julie was a very hard worker, and had to do so to keep her family afloat. At times she worked several jobs as well as doing odd jobs. She worked at Bedford Nursing and Rehab for several years, taking care of the patients as if they were family. While working there, she started at Casey’s in 1989 as one of the first employees. This soon became her full time job (besides taking care of her three ornery children!) For the next 20 years, Casey’s and its patrons as well as her children became her life. More than anything she loved to visit with people when they came into the store, (sometimes even pulling a prank or two!)

When Julie was not at work, she could be found in her kitchen, cooking for all of the friends that stopped by. These friends turned into “her kids” and she soon found herself parenting them in a variety of ways. It ranged from humor to guidance and even an occasional “butt chewing.” Each one holds a special place in her heart and can be sure that she is looking down on them today.

“You have only failed if you failed to try,” was a quote Julie often told her children, and a quote that she lived by. As her heath failed she hated to rely on others, especially her children. They, however, looked at the situation as an opportunity to give to her what she gave to them.

There are not enough words (nor enough room!) to describe how Julie impacted everyone that she knew and camvice at 7 p.m., also at St Joseph's Catholic Church. Burial will be in St. Joseph's Cemetery, Parnell.

Memorial contributions may be made in Leo's name to the American Diabetes Association.
