Betty Diane Dillon

Betty Diane Dillon passed away on October 27, 2026 and is now in the arms of Jesus her Savior where she has no more pain, illness, or sorrow. She is preceded in death by her father, Grady Dick and her mother, Betty Dick. Diane leaves behind her family who loves her dearly. They are: her sister Doris Craig and her husband Cary Craig, niece Caitlyn Craig, niece Michelle Reynolds and her husband Brandon Reynolds, their daughter Skylar Reynolds, niece Melanie Dellinger and her husband Jonathan Dellinger, their children Ayden, Chloe and Tristan Dellinger, her brother David Dick and his wife Karyn Dick, nephew Dawson Dick, niece Annabelle Dick. She also has many cousins and friends who meant a great deal to her.

Diane was a giver and would always be available to anyone who needed help. One of her passions was the support of wounded military Veterans. She created and organized the Hoofin’ for Heroes Benefit horseback ride that she held for several years. That ride’s proceeds went to the Wounded Warriors Project. It was a labor of love for her to put the exhaustive time into that cause.

Diane also loved animals. There were times when she had multiple horses, goats, dogs, cats, and a mule all at the same time. They were her babies and it came naturally.

Diane spent 20+ years active duty in the United States Army rising to the rank of First Sergeant. After leaving active duty, she went to work at the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DIA) for 20 years finally retiring in December 2025. She accomplished much in her life and touched the hearts of many.

We miss her deeply, but we know she is in Heaven. Eternity in Heaven is as easy as ABC:

 A- Admit you are a sinner - Romans 3:10, 23                                                                                                                                    B- Believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins - Romans 5:8; 6:23                                                                                        C- Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved - Romans 10:9-10
