Dwight Armstrong, 85, of Hartselle, Alabama, passed away on February 22, 2026.
Dwight was born on February 24, 1940, in DeKalb County, Alabama, to George Ervin Armstrong and Ruby Camillia Galloway. He spent his life rooted in North Alabama, where he built a career, a family, and a legacy defined by hard work, honesty, and devotion.
He worked for many years as a salesman and Regional Sales Manager with companies including Meadow Gold, Flav-O-Rich, and Purity. Dwight was known for his strong work ethic and his ability to connect with people, leaving a lasting impression on those he worked with and served.
Dwight was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Mary Ann Armstrong, for 67 years and was a proud father to his four daughters: Teresa Lawhorn (Joey), Tenina Bili (John), Tanya Lybarger Childers (Jerry), and Teletha Ledfors (Freddie). He was a cherished grandfather to ten grandchildren and a proud great-grandfather to eleven great-grandchildren, all of whom brought him immense joy.
As a loyal Auburn fan, Dwight especially loved college basketball and rarely missed a game. He always supported his children in everything they did. This carried over to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. One of his greatest pleasures was cheering them on at their numerous activities. He always showed up with pride and support.
He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Ruby Armstrong; brother, Arnold Armstrong (Evelyn); sisters, Shelby Parris (R.L.) and Genell Maddox (Ralph); brother, Randall Armstrong (Joyce); and son-in-law, Scott Lybarger.
