Senior United States Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) announced heartbreaking news this morning.
According to a statement, Barasso’s wife, Bobbi, passed following a two-year battle with glioblastoma, a highly invasive brain cancer.
From Fox News:
“After a courageous battle with cancer, Bobbi is now at peace and at home with the Lord,” Barrasso said in a statement. “In addition to being a devoted wife and mother, Bobbi was a leader, fierce advocate for Wyoming, and friend to everyone she met. We miss her dearly. On behalf of our entire family, we thank everyone for your prayers and continued support as we remember her and grieve together.”
…
Glioblastoma is a type of aggressive and malignant brain tumor that originates from glial cells, or non-neuronal cells that provide support and protection for neuron in the nervous system. It is the most common primary brain tumor in adults.
In February 2022, Barrasso announced Bobbi underwent a successful surgical removal of an intracranial lesion at the University of Colorado Medical Center.
Barrasso said in a statement at the time that his wife was doing well after the surgery, and he and Bobbi were both “very thankful.”
Bobbi passed on Wednesday evening in Casper.
The couple wed in 2008 and have three children together.
