WILMINGTON — Barbara Trulove “Bobbie” Alsbrook, 87, passed away Sunday, May 21, 2017, at Davis Healthcare Center, Wilmington.
She was the wife of the late Clarence J. “Brooks” Alsbrook. Born in Wilmington Aug. 17, 1929, she was a daughter of the late Liston Hoyt and Anna Silvia Trulove.

Bordeaux III, and his wife, Linda, of Morehead City; grandson, Dewey L. ‘Drew’ Bordeaux IV of Morehead City; nephew, Kent Nance (Lynn); niece, Robbi Nance, and her children, Allie Lee and Scott Bullington, Carol Ricks; and a very special cousin and caregiver, Kay McKeithan Warner (Charlie), of Rocky Point.
