Obituary for Lottie Lorene Williams Corbitt
Mrs. Lottie Lorene Williams Corbitt, age 97, of Gainesville, GA formerly of Odessa, TX passed away Wednesday, April 2, 2025.
Mrs. Corbitt was born April 25, 1927, in Hollis, OK to the late Andrew Lee Williams and Bertie Davis Williams. She is also preceded in death by her husband, Gordon Archie Corbitt; as well as 4 brothers and 4 sisters.
She was the best Mema to her grandchildren. She taught them how to sew and bake chocolate pies with the best meringue! Nobody beats her chocolate pies and would bake as many as we wanted.
She would sit with us and color, do puzzles, let us go crazy at the drug store buying candy and trinkets.
Mema was a wonderful creative artist with 3D creations: flower arrangements, painting realistic features on porcelain dolls, and sewing tiny doll and Barbie clothes for the girls. Her porcelain dolls were consistent blue ribbon winners at the Permian Basin Fair. As a result, she was invited to an international competition held in Rochester, NY where she placed third.
All the kids would also fight over who got the first back scratch when we got to her house!
"I remember staying with her one summer. I had elastic and cloth everywhere in her sewing room from making scrunchies. She was so patient with me and probably re-threaded her machine 10 times for me to have matching thread. I had at least 30 made by the time I got home." -Belinda
She is survived by her daughter, Brenda Landers (Billy), of Gainesville, GA; son, Gary Don Corbitt (Claudie), of Odessa, TX; grandchildren, Bryan Landers, of Gainesville, GA; Becky Whitman (Clay), of Newnan, GA; Belinda Landers, of Atlanta, GA; Brooke Forrester (Ben), of Gainesville, GA and Dawn Hix (James), of Pottsboro, TX. She is also survived by her many great grandchildren Dillan (Bryan); Shelby, Erynn, Cade and Colton (Becky); Davis and Avery (Belinda); Madison and Savannah (Brooke); Alena and Paige (Dawn).
Numerous other relatives also survive to carry on her legacy.
