Bobbie Ripa – Operations/CSR Supervisor

Driven by Care.

As Operations/CSR Supervisor at Farmers & Merchants Bank, Bobbie has supported our internal team and customers for over 40 years. A true constant in our Wilber location, Bobbie brings kindheartedness, experience, and a strong sense of community to everything she does.

Her favorite part of the job is helping customers feel at home, whether they’ve been banking with us for decades or just opened their first account. She takes pride in making every interaction a positive one and believes strong relationships are the foundation of FMB’s great service. Bobbie is also a steady presence behind the scenes. With an expansive knowledge of deposit operations and a strong work ethic, she keeps things running smoothly and always steps up for her team.

Down to Earth.

Outside of work, Bobbie’s dedication to giving back continues. She’s coordinated blood drives with the American Red Cross for over 40 years, is deeply involved in the Wilber Chamber of Commerce, and has volunteered at the Nebraska Czechs of Wilber Festival for 50 years! She’s also been a proud member of Beta Sigma Phi for over 40 years. Her commitment to service is woven into every part of her life, from helping update cemetery records to donating trees and equipment for local park improvements.

When she’s not at the bank or volunteering, you’ll likely find Bobbie working on the farm with her family. She and her husband raise cattle and enjoy the simplicity of a life close to nature. She finds joy in quiet, celestial moments, such as watching the stars or tracking the next eclipse.
