August 19, 1938 - March 2, 2017
Alice Lavene Gilbert passed from this life on Thursday, March 2, 2017 in Angleton, Texas.
Alice was born to Norman Robinson and Bertha Mae Parks in Hagarville, Arkansas on August 19, 1938.

Alice is survived by two daughters, Rhonda Smith and son in law Steve Smith of Lake Jackson Texas, Tammy Rowton and son in law Clayton Rowton of Hot Springs, Arkansas, one son Randy Gilbert and daughter in law Jeanette Gilbert of Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. Alice is also survived by a step mother Gussie Phillips, two sisters, Suzanne Casey and Georgie Adams, two brothers, James Robinson and John Bowman, two sister in laws, Gail Williams and Yvonne Williams; Six grandchildren and six great grandchildren; best friend Jane Binyon; and a host of family and friends.
Up until her final hours she was surrounded by her loved ones, being strong for each and every one of us. She loved to tell her stories but most of all she loved being around her family. She had special memories with each and every one of us. She never met a stranger and always made friends no matter where she went. She had a love for fishing and throwing that fishing pole underhanded being left handed. No one could throw it like she did. She had a philosophy in life and that was to always treat people the way you want to be treated. She lived a full and wonderful life and now she will carry that legacy with her in Heaven.
Alice's Visitation will be held 6:00-8:00 P.M. Monday March 6, 2017 at Roller-Cox Funeral Home Chapel.
