Dora Gobert Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 25, 2022.
Dora Lee (Roberts) Gobert began her life journey in Dayton, Texas, where she was born to Zack Roberts, Sr. and Adline Bradley Roberts on February 4, 1936. She was the third child of her parents and accepted Christ into her life and joined church at the age of twelve, where she would read the church announcements.

A graduate of Colbert High School in Dayton, Texas, Dora was extremely active. While in school, Dora ran long-distance track, played the clarinet, and was a Cheerleader, Drum Major, Twirler, and Majorette.

Dora worked at a rice mill and had a successful career in the hospitality industry, as a manager of several cafes in the Pleasantville area where she retired. She was a mother to five children; Felicia, Whitney, Jr., Pamela, Ronald, and Leslie, and a grandmother to all, who affectionately called her Granny.

A faithful member of St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church at the time of her passing; Dora believed in prayer and steady fast hope. God called his earth angel home on July 13, 2022, at the age of 86. By all accounts, "Queen Dora" lived a beautiful, full, and productive life, and touched many lives. She was preceded in death by her parents, Zack and Adline Roberts, her husband, Whitney Gobert, Sr., brothers, Bobbie Gene Roberts, Zack Roberts, Jr., and Wilford Roberts, and sisters, Florida B. Ligons and Georgia Mae Clark.

She leaves to cherish her memory and legacy: her sister, Betty Jean Seals; five children; Felicia Roberts-Stanfield, Whitney Gobert, Jr.(Renee), Pamela Matthews, Ronald Gobert, and Leslie Rudison; twelve grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren, her aunt, Dorthy Mae Sears, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
