Barbara Lynn Kalb died unexpectedly on July 31,2022 at age 75. She was born on July 17, 1947 in New Brunswick, NJ, the daughter of Sam and Fae Sadowsky of Highland Park, NJ.

Bobbi graduated from Northeastern University of Boston, class of 1970 with a degree in education and art.  She returned to New Jersey and worked for several years as an elementary school teacher.  Here she met Clifford Kalb and they married in May, 1973. The couple recently celebrated 49 years of marriage.   Bobbi and her husband relocated to the Boston area in 2007 and settled in Hull, MA where they lived happily for the past 15 years. She was a loving daughter, mother and wife to her family and her many friends. Above all else she had the greatest pride in being a mom and a homemaker.

Bobbi was very active in community affairs and was involved with The Nantasket Saltwater Club, The Coast Guard Auxiliary, The South Shore Journal, and the Norwell Council on Aging. She was a lifelong learner and was passionate about her love of art, film, and entertainment and had many artistic friends and mentors. These friends helped her decorate their Victorian home with beautiful art depicting the views, sites and maritime activities around the lovely seaside town of Hull. Throughout her life she maintained a strong love and bond with animals, especially her yellow lab, Marley.

Bobbi was pre-deceased by her parents.  Surviving her are her husband, Clifford Kalb; her daughter, Jamie Leigh Fischer of Hull; her daughter Laurie Lysko and partner Gene Lysko of Annandale, NJ; her sister-in-law Tina Jacobs and her husband Richard of Clermont, FL; her brother-in-law, Irvin Kalb and his wife Doreen of Mountain View, CA and their respective children.

It was Bobbi's wish to be cremated and have her ashes scattered at sea. A small private ceremony to honor her wishes will be conducted with the assistance of the Coast Guard of Hull.

In lieu of flowers, those who wish to remember Bobbi in a special way may make gifts in her name to The Scituate Animal Shelter of MA 780 Chief Justice Highway, Scituate, MA 02066.
