Tilbert H. Bice
November 2, 2019
Tilbert H. Bice, Jr., age 95, passed away on November 2, 2019 at Community Care. Bert was born and raised in Middle Tennessee. He joined the United States Army Air Corp in 1943, where he served overseas on the island of Tinian in the South Pacific. After his service, he moved to the Detroit, MI area—where he worked as a metal finisher at the General Motors Tech Center for 23 years. Bert was an avid fisherman and could typically be found working on projects in his workshop or his garden. He loved God, his church, and his family. He always met friends and family with a warm hug or a firm handshake and loved to tell stories and jokes. In 2019, Bert returned to his roots and moved back to Tennessee to be near family. Tilbert was preceded in death by his parents, Tilbert H. Bice, Sr. and Vergie Peek Bice; sister, Margaret Bice Brown; and son, Kenneth H. Bice. He is survived by his wife of 71 years, Pearl M. Boatman Bice; grandchildren, Angela Hytry and Bret Bice; and great-grandchildren, Ben Hytry and Aubrey Bice. A memorial service will be at 1:00 PM, Friday, November 8, 2019 at Jennings and Ayers Funeral Home with Jimmy Carver of Florence Church of Christ officiating.
