About Bobbie

Bobbie was born in Maine in June of 1971, but spent most of her formative years through college in Oklahoma and New York. She abandoned her college education in 1994 to move to North Carolina to help her mother care for her ill older sister, Kelly, suffering from Scleroderma. When Kelly passed in 1998, it was Bobbie’s intention to move to San Diego, CA. However, she met Paul McRae in 1996 and they were married in 2000 remaining in Raleigh, NC for the remainder of her life.

Bobbie spent many of her adult years in the employ of Blockbuster Video and joined the gaming industry in 2000 after her first exposure to it, via Magic: the Gathering, in 1997. Bobbie and Paul entered a business partnership in 2000 with Games Galore which led to the eventual birth of All Fun & Games in 2003. Bobbie’s passions outside of gaming included an undying love for movies, animals, craftwork and, beginning in 2004 with his birth, her son Killian. He immediately became the center of her universe and no stronger love will ever be known.

In 2006, Bobbie was diagnosed with malignant metastatic melanoma cancer which she fought with remarkable positivity through the remainder of her life. She saw her own 38th birthday and her son’s 5th within the months before she passed. She is survived by her mother, Toni Morrill, husband, Paul McRae, and son, Killian McRae. Her known love for animals obligates us to list her other “children” as well, her dogs Shamu and Sophie.

In addition to her other legacies, All Fun & Games was something that she was forever proud of and bragged about to everyone she met. It is our honor to count her as one of our key founders and we wish her the best in whatever the afterlife may hold, for ours will be forever changed by the time that we had with her.
