Dillie Mae Fishbeck

Dillie Fishbeck, age 89, died Thursday, July 19, 2007 at Hearthstone Health Center in Round Rock, TX. She was born June 2, 1918 in El Campo, TX and was the last survivor of 9 children born to Henry and Dillie Matthews.

Dillie was preceded in death by her husband of 47 years, Wilton, who was the love of her life; daughter, Carolyn Bishop; and a grandson. She retired from the Texas Real Estate Commission in 1980 as Data Processing Manager. She had been in the Beta Sigma Phi sorority, the Order of the Eastern Star, the Data Processing Management Association, and the National Machine Accounting Association. Dillie was a devoted member of the Central Christian Church and played an enormous role in the religious education of all her children. All who knew her were amazed by her energy and bubbly personality. She and Wilton were wonderful dancers together and she continued this passion long after his death. Dillie loved to travel with her “hen friends” to such places as Las Vegas, Coushatta Casinos in Louisiana, and even to Italy.
