Preston O. Dollar Jr.

A memorial service to celebrate the life of Preston Orvelle, Jr., 74, will be held Saturday, June 7th at 2:00 PM at Mulhearn Memorial Park in Monroe, Louisiana.

Preston Orvelle Dollar, Jr. was born on October 6, 1950 and passed away on February 26, 2025 surrounded by the family he loved more than anything. He was a hardworking man, spending over 30 years as a mill operator at the West Monroe paper mill, providing for his family by always showing up, no matter what.

Preston was a true family man. He loved talking sports, watching games, going to the movies with his kids and grandkids, and he always liked to take the scenic route no matter where he was going. He had a deep love for southern food—especially crawfish—and never missed a chance to enjoy a good meal with the people he cared about (especially if it ended with a good dessert). Christmas was his favorite time of year, especially the memories made at his mother Bertie Mae’s house in Baskin, Louisiana, surrounded by family.

He is survived by his wife, Janet Dollar; his daughter, Tammy Hardman and husband, Rich; his sons, Steven Dollar (daughter-in-law Ashley Alford), Matthew Dollar, and his brother-in-law, Chuck Timpleman, who he loved like a son; and his grandchildren, William "Will" Hardman, Cooper Hardman, Alaina Hardman, Mollie Andrews, Iris Dollar, Dawson Dollar, and Ayla Dollar. He also leaves behind his sister, Kathy Womble; his many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law (or “outlaws,” as he liked to call them); and a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Preston is reunited in heaven with his parents, Preston Orvelle "P.O." Dollar, Sr. and Bertie Mae Phillips; his siblings, Joyce "Penny" Cupp, Barbara "Bobbie" Simmons, and Bobby Dale Dollar.

Preston will be deeply missed, but the memories he created will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
