Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 30, 2015.

Bobbie Ann Cope Harris - of Nashville, TN. Age 76, passed away peacefully on the 29th of March 2015.Bobbie Ann was born in Livingston, TN, and lived in Nashville, TN, for most of her life.

Affectionately known as "Bobcat," Bobbie ran several local restaurants and bars in East Nashville throughout the years including Vaden's, Hudson's, The Pot Belly, Farmers' Market Café, and Edgefield Restaurant at 11th and Woodland. During those years, she also worked at the Tennessee State Prison in a "job training" role for the inmates. She made it a point to become personal friends with all of her patrons, and always made sure that anyone who came into her bar, or her home, had plenty to eat and drink! Bobbie was known for her colorful personality and loved to be of help to those in need.

Bobbie Ann is preceded in death by her mother, Zula Lexi Copeland Cope, and will forever be remembered by her loved ones and friends who remain to cherish her life and memory: her children, Larry (Susan) Reeves, Darren (Pam) Reeves, Patricia Ann Reeves, and Thomas Lynn Reeves; her grandchildren, Sara Ann Walden and Heather Heard, Lexi Reeves, and Katie Lynn Reeves; her great-grandchildren, Benasha Brooks, Fabion Walden, Ben Jr. Brooks, Isaiah Heard and Jasaiah Heard; and countless others her life impacted, including those she considered family, Brandy Farley and sons, Shelby Merrimon, and Joshua Trawick and daughter, with much appreciation extended to Jennifer Tester, caregiver and friend.

The family has planned to gather with friends to celebrate, visit and share their memories of Bobbie's life at Eastland Funeral Home on Saturday, the 11th of April 2015 beginning at eleven o'clock and continuing up until the time of service at one o'clock.
