Lottye Gilbert Chisam passed away peacefully on October 16, 2016 at the age of 96. She was born on August 26, 1920 in Groesbeck, Texas to Nora and John Gilbert. After graduating from Groesbeck High School, she met the love of her life, Charles Chisam, while working at the five and dime. He called Lottye his ‘Million Dollar Baby’. They married after a whirlwind courtship and had two daughters, Judith and Kasey. They raised their family in Hitchcock, Texas, where Lottye was a devoted mother and was heavily involved in her daughters’ activities.
