Shirley Dill

We are so sorry for your loss. May God grant your family and friends peace as you grieve. (Phil 4:6-7)

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

By Lamaretta Simmons

I met Shirley Dill many moons ago. I have fond memories of spending time at her house searching for Christmas branches to make holiday wreaths.

Her granddaughters, Lisa Knedler and Rebecca Dill, are the first granddaughters in our family. They gave of their time religiously and without complaint to assist their grandmother. I have been very impressed with their commitment to Shirley these many years.

May you rest in peace at last, Shirley. What a life you lived!

Shirley's outlook on life, her wonderful reminders of keeping life simple and enjoying the small moments have tough me deeply. While I regret to have never met her, I feel I got to know and appreciate her through her family's eyes...precious memories. May God and the memories sustain you, bring comfort and brighten the dark in those times when the grief comes. Jas.4:8
I will enjoy a bowl of ice cream today and think of her fondly. Thank you Shirely and family, for helping me to remember...

Shirley was one of a kind. I am immensely proud of my daughters, Rebecca and Lisa, who lovingly cared for her over the last 15 years as her dementia worsened. May she Rest In Peace.

This obituary found its was to Facebook. Unfortunately, I did not know Ms. Dill, but based on this wonderful tribute to her, I wish I did. She sounds like a wonderful person and the quintessential Mainer. As someone who works in an assisted living facility, thank you for the kind mention of the work that we all do. Shirley's friends and family are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. Remember the good times - its seems there were many!

I did not know Shirley, but this obituary makes me wish I did. You can tell she was a special person and her story was told well. My condolences to her extended family.
