Alice Beatrice Roberson, nee Maddox

She is preceded in death by her husband, George Marion Roberson, parents Sherley and Lola Maddox, brothers Roy Maddox, A.R. Maddox, Sherley Jr. Maddox, Jim Maddox, and sister Helen Baldwin.

She is survived by her children, David Roberson and Carol (Gary) Vasil; her sister, Jeanette Gregory; grandchildren, Mollie (Gary) Winter, Nick Smith, Becky (Tom) Smith, Kyle (Edith) Roberson and Kevin Roberson; great-grandchildren, Penny Smith, Cassandra Smith, Avyanna Roberson and a host of nieces and nephews.

Eager to explore the world outside of Simpson County, she left home shortly after graduating high school. She worked on the MS Gulf Coast and then in Jackson, MS, where she met her husband. After marriage, they moved to Mobile, AL, and later to Sacramento, CA. She and her husband loved to travel together; some of their favorite destinations were Hawaii and Disney World. She was the light and life of every gathering, always ready with a story from her travels, a beaming smile, and lots of laughter, and she always gave the best hugs.

While her passing so deeply saddens us, we know that “to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” She is with her Savior and reunited with her husband and family who have gone before her, and she is at peace.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, February 14, 2025, at Sharon Cemetery in Magee, MS, at 11:00 AM, with interment following.
