Dovie Virginia Gilbert Goins was born Sunday, January 11, 1931 to Dace and Mazie Baker Gilbert. She passed away on her 86th birthday, Wednesday, January 11, 2017 surrounded by her family.
Dovie loved animals and enjoyed fishing, houseboating, and “playing” outdoors—anything from climbing trees to building igloos with her kids and grandkids.

Moore; son William “Bill” Goins; and grandson James C. Goins II, infant son of James Goins and Brenda Gibson Goins.
