Floy Dilday

Floy M. (Baker) Trevisani Dilday of Little Rock passed away July 10, 2021 at the age of 91. Flo was born in Hector, Arkansas, on December 20, 1929 to Willam Harry and Maggie Irene (Garrigus) Baker.

She is survived by her sister Lavada Allen; 4 sons, Tracy Dilday (Gretchen), Kurt Dilday, Tony Dilday (Terry) and Jim Dilday (Jenni); 11 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.

She is preceded in death by her parents; husbands, John Trevisani and Dr. Tom Dilday; siblings, Ray Baker, Loren Baker, and Margaret Hull; and son Joseph Trevisani.

Flo served as a nurse in the United States Air Force in Tampa, Florida, where she met her first husband, John in 1955. In 1962 she returned to Arkansas as a widow and later married her second husband, Tom. After raising 5 children together, they retired to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1986. They were active in the Sierra Club, hiking and rafting in the area as well as trips to the Grand Canyon. In 1991, Flo moved back to Little Rock to be closer to family. Flo was a woman of her own with fierce blue eyes and a laugh that rocked the room. She was a self-taught contractor, building and remodeling houses, a master gardener, a force on the tennis court, and a passionate student of art.

The family wishes to express their thanks to the staff of Woodland Heights Assisted Living. Special thanks to Sue McEuen for the many years of friendship that included long lunches and hours of painting,

There will be no service according to Flo’s wishes. Arrangements are with Smith Little Rock Funeral Home.
