In Loving Memory of Deborah Shaw Dion
March 6, 1950 – July 22, 2025

Deborah Shaw Dion, 75, of Spring Hill, passed away peacefully on July 22, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Deborah was a proud graduate of Andrew Warde High School.

In her later years, she found great comfort and peace in her faith and enjoyed attending church services, which brought her a renewed sense of hope and connection.

Deborah will be deeply missed by her three children, Stacey Fussell (Michael), Sheri Wolinski (Edward), and Sean Dion (Crystal); her beloved grandchildren, Dylan Albarella, Logan Fussell, and Conor Fussell; and her brother, Richard Shaw. She also leaves behind several nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.

She is reunited in peace with her parents, Roger and Evelyn Shaw, and her brother, Robert Shaw.

While no formal service is planned at this time, a water burial will be held at a later date to honor Deborah's life and memory. Her family finds comfort in knowing she is at rest, surrounded by love both here and beyond.
