Republic
Bobbie Jo “BoBo” Gabriel Marucci, 69, of Republic, passed away peacefully Sunday, May 4, 2025, in Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va., surrounded by the love of her family.
Born May 26, 1955, she was a beloved daughter of the late Irene Tomotchko and Gary Gabriel.
Bobbie Jo was a devoted mother, sister, aunt and friend, whose gentle spirit and boundless love touched everyone who knew her.
Her family was the center of her world; she treasured every moment spent with her children. Bobbie also cherished and adored every waking moment with her “Hero”, Ryland Eicher.
She will always be remembered for bringing love and laughter into everyone’s lives. Bobbie Jo’s warmth, kindness and faith were a quiet strength to those around her. She lived her life with love, compassion, and a deep commitment to her family. Her favorite words, “I love you to the moon and back,” or “I love you to infinity and beyond” were more than just a phrase, they were the heart of who she was.
She is survived by her three loving children: sons, Brandon and Derek; daughter, Angela; sisters, Tina Johnston, Sandy Murray and Lori Eicher.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Irene and Gary; and sister, Gloria Sutton.

Her legacy lives on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know and love her. Though she is no longer with us, her love and wittiness will never leave us.
