Alice Dillon Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hursen Funeral Home & Crematory - Hillside-Westchester on Nov. 25, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Alice Dorothy Dillon, 91, (nee Klauser), of Westchester, born into eternal life November 23, 2025 at her home surrounded by her family. Loving mother of seven, cherished grandmother of eighteen and great grandmother of two. Alice was preceded in death by her eternally devoted husband of 51 years, Edward "Ed", and her cherished daughter, Mary Alice (the late Charlie) Kuwamoto, and her beloved parents, Emma (nee Mathews) and George Klauser.

Alice is survived by her children, Edward (Eileen), Anne, Margaret (John) Falduto, Katie (Patrick) McGee, George (Angela), Patricia (Michael) Sheehy; as well as her grandchildren, Andrew (Carolina) Dillon, Michael (Hillary) Dillon, Jessica (Richard) Helmin and Matthew Dillon; Hannah (Brian) Studnicka, David and Julia Gorman; Emma, Patrick, Kelly (fiancé Katherine Hahn), Sean and Molly McGee; Margaret and Cecilia Dillon; and Ailish, James, Patrick and Catherine Sheehy; and two dear great-granddaughters, Cristina Dillon and Emily Helmin.

Born on July 29, 1934, always exceptionally brilliant, Alice excelled at Providence High School, and St. Mary of the Woods College, Terre Haute, IN. A rarity for the time, Alice graduated with a BS in Chemistry and briefly worked as a chemist at Velsicol Labs before devoting her life fully to her family. Alice spent all of her time and talents in the daily care of her family, and did all things with endless patience and great love. Alice was never happier than when surrounded by her children and grandchildren, and they, in turn, adored her. Alice will be deeply missed by all blessed to know her. Ed and Mary Alice have been waiting to welcome Alice home.

Those planning an expression of sympathy are asked to consider mass offerings or a donation in Alice's memory to the Sean Dillon McGee Special Needs Trust, for Alice's grandson's future needs.

Visitation will be held on Friday, November 28, 2025, 3:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.at Hursen Funeral Home & Crematory, SW corner of Roosevelt & Mannheim Roads, Hillside/ Westchester. Prayers Saturday, November 29, 2025 11:00 a.m. from the funeral home to Divine Infant Church, Westchester. Mass Noon. Interment will be at Queen of Heaven Cemetery, Hillside
