Daughter of Abner and Minnie (Smith) Dillon. Wife of Arthur Flint.

Obituary supplied by Martha Hanson Dillon.

Services were held Monday, July 29, 1996 at the United Methodist Church in Arnold, Nebraska for Estelle V. "Babe" Dillon Flint, who died July 25 at the Sandhills Manor in Broken Bow at the age 87. The Rev. Doug Smith and the Rev. Victor Karg officiated.
Survivors include her daughters, Mrs. Harold (Barbara) Whitcomb of Arnold and Mrs. Terry (Sharron) Conley of Oxnard, California; sons, Robert and wife Jean Flint of Arnold and Donnell and wife Cheri Flint of Arnold; 14 grandchildren; two step-grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; many nieces, cousins, and friends and special friends of Riverview Apartments. She is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Wayne (Idris) Welsh of Vernonia, Oregon.
Music was by Dorothy Larreau. Selections were "Precious Memories" and "Ivory Palaces."
Honorary pallbearers were all Riverview Apartment residents. Pallbearers were Shad Flint, Mike Flint, Shane Flint, Bruce Deterding, James Deterding, and Dustin Deterding.
Estelle V. "Babe" Flint was born November 17, 1908 at Garfield Table in Lincoln County to Abner and Minnie Smith Dillon. Her father died in 1918 in the flu epidemic. She attended and graduated from school on the Garfield Table and the Logan County High School at Gandy. She worked in Department and grocery stores in Arnold and Stapleton after high school.
On October 25, 1931, she married Arthur L. Flint. They helped send her sisters, Marie and Idris, to school and helped care for a niece, Bernilee. Art was in the trucking business so they helped a lot of hired men.
To this marriage four children were born. The couple saw them all attend school and graduate in Stapleton.
At the family get-togethers, everyone knew what the menu would be-chicken and noodles and butter beans.
The couple resided in Stapleton on their little acreage until 1978 when they moved to Arnold to be near their children.
Babe was preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 51 years, brothers Loren, Harry and Frank Dillon, and sisters Hershall Chapman and Marie Stockall. Burial was in the Arnold Cemetery.
