Bobbie Jean's mother, Jane Carter said, "I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean; and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time. When I am able to think clearly, I’ll release a fuller statement; but until then I would request to be left to grieve in private."

Bobbie Jean is survived by a young daughter, Bella. Speaking about her, Jane added, “However deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater.
