Anne D. Dillon

94, of Cheektowaga, entered into eternal rest on November 13, 2025. Beloved mother of Bridget (Chris) O'Brien, Kathryn Luppi, Angela (Michael) Grace, and Margaret (Derek) Schwartz; cherished grandmother of Kayleigh (Kevin) Gekakis, Emily (Robert) Horan, Eamon Gekakis, Julia Conyea, Will Conyea, Molly Conyea, and Sean Grace; great-grandmother of Violet Desch, Maura Desch, and Henry Desch; dear sister of Nina (Richard) McVay and the late Ida (Frank) Szykowny and Bart (Marilyn) Dolce; loving daughter of the late Charles and Josephine Dolce; also survived by many nieces and nephews.

"In julci jubilo," in Latin means "sweet rejoicing" and is the name of a song. Like the song, the music of Anne (Dolce) Dillon's laughter and the sweetness of her nature brought joy to others -- even until the last moments of her life. Born in Buffalo, NY, she graduated from D'Youville College and taught math until her marriage to Edward Dillon in 1959. The couple raised their four daughters in Williamsville, NY. Ms. Dillon believed that family is everything. Her Sicilian heritage and traditions were important to her and she delighted in sharing Italian recipes and books with others. She played the piano, enjoyed dancing and seeing live performances. An avid reader, Ms. Dillon was interested in a great number of topics from geography to doll collecting. She had a lifelong interest in antiques and arts & crafts.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Our Lady Help of Christians (Chapel) 4125 Union Rd., on Thursday, November 20 at 10:00 AM. Interment will follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.
