GOLDEN
ANNIVERSARY
ANNOUNCEMENT
2/17/2010
Wilbert
and Jerry
Dobbins will
be honored
with a 50th
Wedding
Anniversary
Celebration,
that is
happily
being hosted
by their
Children and
Grandchildren.
The happy
occasion
will be held
Saturday,
February
27th from
3:00 6:00 at
First
Coleman
National
Bank
Hospitality
Room, 3rd
Floor.
Wilbert and
Jerry
married on
February 23,
1960 in
Coleman
County.
Although
their
parents
thought they
were too
young to get
married
(especially
Jerry's
dad), they
were
determined
to begin
their lives
together.
They
received
their
parents
approval and
were married
on Tuesday
afternoon at
2:30.
A little
over a year
later, they
began their
family.
Adding to
the family
during the
first six
years, they
were blessed
with one
daughter and
three sons.
Their
children are
Debbie,
Wesley, Ovie
and Wally.
Later, came
the
grandchildren
and
great-grandchildren.
Wilbert and
Jerry have
welcomed 10
grandchildren
and 3
great-grandchildren.
Wilbert
attended
Coleman
schools. He
has worked
many years
as a Roofing
Contractor
and an Oil
Field
Pumper. He
also worked
for Martin
Brick
Company when
the company
was still in
business.
Wilbert
still
continues to
be an Oil
Field Pumper
and is not
ready to
retire yet.
Wilbert also
served as a
Deacon in
his church,
taught
Sunday
school
classes and
drove the
church bus
for many
years. You
will also
find Wilbert
taking care
of his many
animals and
tinkering
with any
type of raw
wood that he
can get his
hands on.
His wood
workshop is
his home
away from
home. His
love of
tractors and
plowing also
keeps him
very busy.
Jerry also
attended
Coleman
schools.
Jerry
devoted her
earlier
years
raising
their
children and
being a
stay-at-home-mom.
Over the
years, she
has worked
in several
retail
businesses
in Coleman.
Jerry also
achieved her
dream and
received her
Nurses Aide
Certificate,
while the
children
were young.
She also
worked
part-time in
a local
nursing home
after she
received her
nursing
certificate.
Alongside
Wilbert, she
has also
supported
her local
church by
teaching
Sunday
school
classes and
helping with
the church
bus route.
In her spare
time, you
will find
Jerry mowing
the yard,
pulling
weeds,
planting
another tree
or searching
for the best
garage sale.
As Wilbert,
she isn't
ready to
completely
retire and
they both
also stay
very busy
attending
their
grandchildren's
activities.
To celebrate
this very
happy
occasion and
to celebrate
Fifty Years
of Marriage,
the Children
and
Grandchildren
would like
to extend a
very special
invitation
to all
friends and
family.
Please stop
by, share a
favorite
memory or
two, have a
slice of
cake and
wish Wilbert
& Jerry
many, many
more years
of marriage!

He attended

and a dairy
business.
They milked
cows by hand
and
delivered
milk to
their
neighbors.
In 1947,
they bought
a farm two
miles east
of Mozelle
where they
farmed and
raised
Hereford
cattle.
On November
