Name: Dalton R Oliver
Birth Date: 17 Feb 1940
Address: McElwee Loop, Delhi, LA, 71232

BEEKMAN, LA. On December 12th at 7:00 am with his wife of fifty-eight years, Toyoko "Kitty" Oliver and his three children; Rickey Oliver (Ellen), Dennis Oliver (Amy) and Teresia Humphrey (Bruce) by his side, Dalton Ray Oliver went to his heavenly home. Dalton met and married his wife, Toyoko, while he was in the army in Okinawa and afterwards they made their home in Crowville, Louisiana.

Dalton was born and raised on a 120 acre farm in Crowville with his four brothers; Billy Oliver, Dale Oliver, Donnie Oliver, Delbert Oliver and three sisters; Shirley Harper, Maxine Caldwell and Caroline French. He raised his family less then a mile from his parents, Julian and Mary Oliver, as well as his great-uncle and aunt, Jewell and Annilee Oliver and a host of kin folks that lived not so far away. In a small community, where a name meant something, Dalton had a good name. He was known as a good family man who never met a stranger. He loved to talk. Dalton taught his children how to work, what is right, what is wrong, and how important family and friends are. He made going to church a priority. Most importantly, "to know God”, will be his legacy to his children and their families. Dalton loved to farm just like his father, but he also drove a truck and for a short time owned and ran a bulk fuel company in Winnsboro, Louisiana. He has been retired for over twenty years and for the last twelve years he and "Kitty" have lived in Beekman, Louisiana. Dalton is survived by his wife, their three children and spouses, his sisters, Shirley and Caroline, and brothers, Dale and Delbert. He was called “Paw Paw” by his 12 grandchildren, his great-grandchildren, and the members of Corinth Baptist Church where he was a deacon and whom he called his “second family”.

Visitation with the family will be Friday, December 13th, from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm, at Corinth Baptist Church, 18196 US Hwy 425, (Hamburg Hwy) Bastrop, Louisiana. Funeral services will be 10:00 am Saturday, December 14th, at Corinth Baptist Church with Bro. Glen Hutchison and Bro Gary Massey officiating. Committal services with military honors will be held 2:00 p.m. Saturday at Faith Memorial Park Cemetery, Hwy 17 South, Delhi, Louisiana 71232 under the direction of Cox Funeral Home of Bastrop.

Serving as pallbearers will be Mr. Oliver's grandsons and great-grandson, Devin Oliver, George Humphrey, Bruce E. Humphrey, Levi Humphrey, Hampton Roane, and Bryce Hammack. Honorary pallbearer is Wade Wright.

For those who wish, the family suggest memorials be made to Mr. Oliver's church, Corinth Baptist Church, 15201 Wheeler Road, Bastrop, Louisiana 71220 or to St. Jude Children's Hospital, www.stjude.org.
