Juanita Frances Dilocker

Juanita Frances Dilocker, 90, of Arapaho, was born December 14, 1935, to Thomas C. and Hazel (Hayden) Maston in Indianapolis, Oklahoma. She passed away early Saturday morning, August 8, 2026, in her Arapaho home.

Juanita was raised in the Thomas and Weatherford area. She attended elementary school in Shaw through the sixth grade, attended school in Weatherford for one year, and later attended Thomas High School, where she graduated in 1953.

She married the love of her life, Leslie Dilocker, on May 29, 1953, in Thomas, Oklahoma. Together, they built a loving home in Arapaho, where they raised their three daughters and son and shared many wonderful years together.

Juanita was a faithful member of the Arapaho Methodist Church.

In 1969, Juanita became a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Throughout her nursing career, she worked at several area nursing homes, including facilities in Thomas and Corn. She also worked at the Clinton Hospital for 20 years before retiring. Her many years in nursing reflected her caring nature and desire to help others.

Leslie and Juanita built a cabin in Red River, New Mexico, which became a special place for the couple, their family, and friends. They loved entertaining friends there, making treasured memories, and simply spending time together watching the deer.

Juanita loved to cook and entertain and could often be found welcoming friends into her home on Saturday nights. She also loved square dancing and was known for making all of her own square dancing dresses. A talented seamstress, she also made many clothes for her children through the years.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Hazel Maston; her husband, Leslie; granddaughter, Heather Weil; twin brothers, Eldon and Elmer Maston; sisters, Ruby Shroyer and Dorothy Miller; and three sons-in-law, Donnie Guthrie, Tony Helton, and Sammy Hendricks.
