WILLIE DALTON DILMORE
COX FUNERAL HOME
BASTROP, LOUISIANA

Willie Dalton Dilmore of Bastrop, LA, passed to eternity on February 25, 2022 at 
age 90, following a brief illness. Survivors include his wife, Maxine Naff 
Dilmore, and daughters Donna Hearn (Baton Rouge), Lisa Fletcher (North Little 
Rock, AR), granddaughters Chloe Allison Fletcher and Sally Jo Fischer (North 
Little Rock, AR), step -son Gene Spence (Donna), step-daughters, Kay Singer 
(Jerry), Gail Smith (Stan), Doris Bowe (William), and Sandy Elkins (Jerry), 
numerous step-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by parents, Vilous Breland Dilmore and Gladys Richardson 
Guy; brothers R. W. “Dub” Dilmore and Howard Dilmore; sisters, Edna Catherine 
Dilmore and Euna Mae Miller; and grandson, John Robert Hearn.

Dalton grew up in the hills of Smith County, Mississippi, right on the border of 
the Bienville National Forest, and spent his youth hunting, fishing, hitting, 
catching and throwing baseballs with his brother Dub, his best friend, who were 
both known for their skill in the game. He was a skilled carpenter by trade, 
loved hot rod automobiles and spent many hours over the years fine tuning the 
engines of all autos he owned. In early years, he was always interested in a 
street drag race challenge. Bluegrass and gospel were the music he most enjoyed. 
He and Maxine made many fun trips to bluegrass music festivals in Mountain View, 
AR. An avid outdoorsman, Dalton loved hunting, fishing, camping, and scouring 
the woods for dogwoods, muscadines, scuppernongs, and briefly dabble in the art 
of crafting homemade muscadine wine. Dalton was a faithful member of Twin Oaks 
Baptist Church. He had a sweet demeanor, playful sense of humor, and was loved 
by all the people who truly knew him. He dearly loved his Searcy family brothers 
and sisters-in-law. His loving presence is and will be greatly missed.

The family will receive friends for a time of visitation beginning at 1:00 p.m. 
Sunday, February 27, 2022 at Twin Oaks Baptist Church followed by funeral 
services at 2:00 p.m. at the church. Interment will follow at Memorial Park 
Cemetery under the direction of Cox Funeral Home of Bastrop.

Special thanks to the physicians and medical staff at St. Francis Medical Center 
for their excellent care and compassionate hearts.
