Lesa Kay Dillon, 66, passed away on December 22, 2025, in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Born on May
11, 1959, in Dayton, Ohio, Lesa lived a life marked by compassion and a deep commitment to animal
welfare.
She graduated from Belmont High School in Dayton and later the Nash Academy of Animal Arts. Lesa
retired from the Commonwealth of Kentucky after many years of dedicated service, primarily with the
Department of Military Affairs. Yet her true calling was always animals.
Lesa owned and operated her own pet grooming business and worked as a veterinary technician at
several clinics in Frankfort. She also worked at Stewart Home School and devoted countless hours to
L.I.F.E. House for Animals, where she played a vital role for over a decade. Her most enduring
contribution was the creation of the Help Fund—a program she founded to assist pet owners unable to
afford medical care for their animals. Through her tireless efforts and collaborations with generous
sponsors and veterinarians, hundreds of pets received lifesaving treatment.
A devoted cat mom, Lesa shared her home with fourteen beloved feline companions at the time of her
passing. Her boundless love for animals touched countless lives, and she was always ready to share her
knowledge or help a distressed pet without hesitation.
Lesa is lovingly remembered by her brothers: Michael J. Dillon (Kathy) of Dayton; Patrick J. Dillon
(Mary Ann) of Dayton; and Christopher M. Dillon (Deborah) of Lawrenceburg. She also leaves behind
five nieces, one nephew, and great nieces and nephews who will cherish her memory.
She was preceded in death by her father John Paul Dillon; mother Norma Charlene Dillon; and infant
sister Lynne Maria.
To love Lesa was to love all animals—and through them, her spirit endures.
Love like Lesa. Love all people and animals with your heart and soul, give selflessly and generously to
those in need, and cherish those you may call a friend.
A Celebration of Life will be planned in the spring of 2026. For notification details, please contact
Chris Dillon at 502-229-0864.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, donations may be made to the L.I.F.E. House for Animals Help Fund or an
animal care facility in your area.
