Mary Aliece Mobley, beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, October 21, 2023, at the age of 85 in Houston, Texas. Best known by her friends and family as Aliece, she was born October 28, 1937, in Joaquin, Texas as the eldest child of La Verne Meador English and William Turner English.
She is preceded in death by her parents, siblings Jesse English and Collene Weber, and two of her sons - Larry Wayne Mobley and Thomas Alton Mobley. Aliece leaves to mourn her surviving sons - Michael Ray Mobley and Daniel Scott Mobley - and a host of nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, all of whom she loved dearly and who cherished her in turn. The bright smile and easy laugh she shared so freely will be deeply missed.
Aliece loved to cook for family and friends, so much so she began curating recipes and dishes into her own personal cookbook. These recipes will continue to be passed down to make snacks, full meals, and desserts for everything from ordinary dinners to holiday celebrations. Her specialty was Red Velvet Cake, frequently served at birthday parties and family gatherings.
Fond of traveling with family and close friends, two of Aliece’s favorite places to visit were Branson, Missouri for its country music shows and Lake Charles, Louisiana to challenge the one-armed bandit at the slot machines. She was often seen with a book in hand as she was an avid reader and lover of mystery novels.
In her early career, Aliece worked as an office manager with the Downtown Houston YMCA. Over the next twenty-five years, she would apply her skills towards First City National Bank, serving as office manager for their large corporate customers. Not yet ready for retirement, Aliece moved on to San Jacinto College North to provide her expertise as an administrative assistant, staying in their employ for over fifteen years before retiring in 2011.
A special thank you to the staff of Houston HCA Northwest Hospital and its in-patient rehabilitation facilities, Fall Creek Nursing Home, Brookdale Willowbrook Skilled Nursing, Brookdale Cypress Station Senior Living, and Eickenhorst Funeral Services for their comfort and care the previous months and to our friends for their support through difficult times.
