MAX DILLINGHAM
Mulhearn Funeral Home

Sterlington Road,

Monroe, LA

Max Dillingham, part of a three-generation ownership of Dillingham Optical of 
Monroe, died Sunday morning at St. Francis Hospital after a lengthy illness. 
He was born in Frederick, Oklahoma on March 19, 1933.

Max was a member of North Monroe Baptist Church and was instrumental in its 
conception. In his earlier years, he took part in a prison ministry. Max was 
also assistant chief of the first group of the Monroe Police Auxiliary in 1959.

He was preceded in death by his father, C. L. Dillingham; his mother, Myrtle 
Mae Dillingham; brother, Bob Dillingham; and sister, Nita Nell Dillingham.

He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Ouida Dillingham; a son, Ben 
Dillingham and his wife Nancy McNeese Dillingham; a daughter, Nancy Dillingham 
Chapman and her husband Monte Chapman; six grandchildren, Leslie Vowles, 
Amanda Dillingham, Holly Dillingham, Summer Chapman, Judd Chapman, and Hunter 
Chapman; one great grandchild, Tori Vowles. He is also survived by one 
brother, Rex Dillingham; and many much-loved nieces and nephews.

Max considered every person he met his friend and brought warmth to every life 
he touched. He left his family a legacy of love and kindness; and Sunday 
morning, we know he heard from Heaven's gates, "Well done, thou good and 
faithful servant."

Visitation will be from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. Tuesday at North Monroe Baptist 
Church, and a memorial service will be held at the church on Wednesday, 
September 16, 2009 at 10:00 AM with Dr. Bill Dye and Rev. Warren Eckhardt 
officiating. Interment will be at Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery.

Pallbearers will be Mark Dillingham, Bobby Dillingham, Judd Chapman, Hunter 
Chapman, Jerry Garner, John Tannehill, Mac Magee, and Roy Evans.

Honorary pallbearers will be the employees of Dillingham Optical and the 
members of Max's Sunday School class.

Donations may be made to North Monroe Baptist Church Building Fund or 
Louisiana Baptist Children's Home.
