Evelyn Newton Bilton

Evelyn was born on June 25, 1935 in Delhi, Louisiana and passed away on December 
29, 2021 in Monroe, Louisiana. Evelyn was a lifelong church member and in recent 
years attended The Assembly of West Monroe virtually. She was preceded in death 
by her husband, Millard "Bill" Bilton, Jr.; her parents, Ray Newton and Hazel 
Grayson Newton; and her brother, Ken Newton.

Evelyn is survived by her daughter, Lisa Bilton; sons, Brad Bilton, Bruce Bilton 
and wife Misty; grandchildren, Lexie, Noah and Mia; brother, Billy Ray Newton 
and wife Jo; sister, Patricia Melton and husband Bobby.

As a full-time homemaker, Evelyn was very involved in every aspect of her 
children's lives. She was a baseball mom, a football mom, a softball mom, a 
dance mom, and a cheer mom. She encouraged her children to achieve to the best 
of their abilities and was known to push them a little if she thought they were 
slacking off. She believed in her children and encouraged them to be the best 
version of themselves they could be. In addition to caring for her three 
children, Evelyn was also a caretaker of anyone who needed her, including her 
parents and husband and many others. She was also a Sunday School teacher for 
many years before "retiring." Her grandchildren were the joy of her later years, 
and she loved nothing more than spending time with them.

Pallbearers will be Joe Newton, Stuart Melton, Logan Newton, Grayson Parker, 
Andon Melton, and David Hartt. Honorary pallbearers will be Chris Parker and 
Noah Bilton.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Scott Barron and his staff, especially Ramona and 
Amanda, for their care during Evelyn's long and courageous battle with breast 
cancer. They also wish to thank Dr. John Bruchaus and staff, especially Nurses 
Katherine and Nick, for their loving compassion and care at the end of her 
journey.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials be made to Susan G. Komen 
Foundation, St. Jude's Research Foundation, or the charity of your choice.

Online condolences may be made to the family at www.kilpatrickfuneralhomes.com.
