Mattie was a 1929 graduate of Center High School. Before it was made official, Mattie was long known as Center's unofficial town historian. She knew the who, what, when, where, and how of just about every major news event in Shelby County and in 2008, Mattie was honored as the official “East Texas Town Historian of Center, Texas” by the Shelby County Historical Commission, which she easily met the criteria for. Even though Mattie was admired by the likes of Dan Rather and Willie Nelson, her biggest fans have always been her neighbors in Center, Texas. She was preceded in death by, Parents, M. B. and Carrie McLendon; Husband, L.L. “Pete” Dellinger; Son, Dan Dellinger; Daughter-in-law, Ruby Dellinger; Sister, Lucy Lee McLendon Gregory; Brothers, George Martin McLendon, Maurice Bartow McLendon.
