Billie Marie Gilbert—or “Monker” as her grandchildren knew her—departed this life on February 3, 2013. She was born on July 23, 1922 in Hale Center, Texas. Billie grew up a country girl, and she remained one at heart for the rest of her life. She married Jim Gilbert on January 2, 1957 in Lovington, New Mexico, and they resided in Lubbock, Texas where they raised their only daughter, Jami. Billie was preceded in death by her parents Bill and Sally Roberson, her sister Dottie Lichte, and her husband Jim Gilbert. She is survived by her son, Steve Graham, and her daughter, Jami Williams and husband, Jeff, her grandchildren, Laci Talerico and husband, Billy, Casey Williams and his wife, Kelsey, and a great-granddaughter, Elliot Claire Talerico. Billie was an avid Texas Tech fan, and she spent her life supporting her Red Raiders and attending games. She was also a member of Highland Baptist Church, and a beloved friend and grandmother.
