Dallas spent her childhood picking cotton on the cotton farms. She moved to Central Florida as a young adult. Max and Dallas met at church so Dallas figured he must be alright. Max proposed to Dallas on February 10, 1959 and were married April 05, 1959. Dallas loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She spent her life in service of the church as Sunday School Teacher, belonging to the WMU, as well as working at the Church Day Care with the babies. She also spent some time as a cake decorator. At first her children loved it because mom would be making cakes for her decorating class. Then it became, oh no, more Cake! Of course Dallas loved the Lord and faithfully attended church and faithfully drug her children there also. There is no doubt that she is celebrating in the presence of the Lord.
