Bobbie's Journey April 24th 1944 Bobbie's journey began. She was born to Rosie Lee Blackwell and Arnold Hennington. At seven weeks old she came to live with her great Aunt and Uncle, Lucille and Wilbert Knox and they became mama and daddy from that day forward. She attended schools in Austin; Rosewood Elementary, Kealing Jr. High, and L.C. Anderson High. At an early age, she gave her life to the Lord. She started out at First Baptist Church under Pastor Robert E. Lee. From there, she moved her membership to New Hope Baptist Church under Pastor O.T. Arnold until mama (Lucille) passed away. She then became a member of Mt. Sinai Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor A.W.A. Mays. Bobbie sang with the choir for a short period of time. She also served with the Senior Mission under the leadership of Sister Jackie Robertson (President) and Sister Norvell Williams (Lead Chairperson) in the Sarah Circle until her illness would not allow her to serve any longer. Bobbie loved to talk about her young years growing up. She always gave honor and respect to Mama and Daddy and all the elders of the village. She loved to talk about a singing group she and some friends started in High school named the Quintones. She became a mom to Vonda Kaye Hennington who preceded her in death as an infant. On September 19th 1968 she was blessed with her son Brian Keith Hennington. She was joined in Holy Matrimony to Charles Pink in 1975 and that union lasted 35 years until Mr. Pink went to be the Lord on 06-15-2010. If you stayed around her long enough, she would proudly let you know that she worked at Seton Hospital for 33 years before retiring. After retiring she worked a few other jobs; Austin Surgeons, ARA, and Walmart (Norwood Park) being the last one. Bobbie loved to shop and would help whomever she could if she knew that they needed it. She was always digging in that purse to pass out tokens of love, money, peppermints, etc. Of all the things that Bobbie may not have remembered during her illness, she never forgot God. She would always say that she was a child of God. On June 8th 2023 God called His child, Bobbie Ruth Pink, home to rest from her journey. He gave her a robe and her wings and we believe she is resting with Him. She was preceded in death her husband Mr. Charles Pink, child Vonda K. Hennington, biological mother Rosie Lee Blackwell and biological father Arnold Hennington. Adopted parents Lucille and Wilbert Knox. Siblings: Arnold Hennington Jr., Betty J. Hennington, Gladys M. Hennington Verna Jo Hennington, Mary Logan, John E Logan and Judy Gale Lindsey. She leaves to cherish her memory her son, Brian K. Hennington (Monique), step-son Everette Pink, grandchildren: Destiney Hennington, Bryson Hennington, Brandi Hennington and Brandon Hennington, one step-granddaughter Nacaesa Pink, one great-grand child, Harlem Pittman. Adopted sister, Brenda L. Washington, sisters: Joyce Hennington and Marilyn Hennington. Also, a host of other relatives and friends. We will miss Bobbie and her wonderful smile, but we know she is in a better place with the Lord. Until we meet again.
