Roberta "Bobbi" Larimore

Roberta “Bobbi” Larimore passed away peacefully on November 16th, 2023 at the age of 80. Bobbi was born on October 25th, 1943, the daughter of Robert “Bob” and Dorothy “Dot” Wadsworth. She grew up in Gloucester, MA and graduated from Gloucester High School. After high school Bobbi attended Mass General School of Nursing in Boston. Although she had many stories of her rotations in nursing school, it’s no surprise she settled on working with children in the child burn unit at Mass General.

In 1968 she married Jameson “Jim” Larimore III and moved to North Dakota. Together they had 4 children, Linda, Stacy, Jameson IV, and Steven. Bobbi maintained her nursing license by volunteering both on the Larimore Ambulance and the schools in Larimore. She enjoyed golf, bowling, playing bridge and spending time with family and friends while raising her 4 children. A great source of pride for her was donating blood for years as often as allowed.

As her children grew up Bobbi found love again with Tom Solseng. Together they enjoyed racing in Sabin, a few winters in Las Vegas and trips to the local casinos. During this time Bobbi managed the Larimore Golf Course until her retirement.  Over the last few years Bobbi still enjoyed occasional trips to the casino and weekly “gin” nights with family. In her final months her oldest grandchild, Chelsey Larimore came to stay with her to help in taking care of her.

Whether you called her mom, grandma, sister or friend she was one of the most amazing people you knew. She had a huge impact on our lives and will be greatly missed.

She was preceded in death by her parents, daughter Linda, granddaughter Jennifer Rose, and special friend Tom Solseng. She is survived by her brother, Robert Wadsworth, children Stacy (Jim) Schlett, Jameson “Jim” IV(Rachael), Steve (Stephanie), stepchildren Parker and Annie Solseng, and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Services and burial will be held in Massachusetts.
