Lottie received her education in Ringgold. She was united in marriage to the late Loraine Roberson and to this union, three children were born. This marriage was later dissolved. She then met and married the man of her dreams, the late Joseph Marks Jr., and to this union, two children were born.

During her time there, she served as the president of the usher board and was a dedicated member of the mission department. Shortly after the passing of husband, Joseph, she then relocated to Kansas City, Missouri.

Upon her relocation, Lottie immediately united with the Corinthian Missionary Baptist Church of Jesus Christ under the leadership of her son, Pastor Bobby G. Roberson.
