Dee Ann Dilley

July 2, 1948 - March 11, 2024

Dee Ann Dilley, 75, passed away on Monday, March 11, 2024, in Lincoln, NE, after a month's long battle with Cushing's disease.

Dee Ann was born in North Platte, NE, on July 2, 1948, the daughter of Lawrence Elwood Dilley and Lucille Janet Anderson. She graduated from North Platte High School in 1966 and went on to obtain an undergraduate degree from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Never leaving Lincoln after graduation, Dee Ann held various clerical and customer service positions in businesses around the city and retired after 21 years of employment with Farmers Mutual of Nebraska on September 21, 2018.

Always possessing a strong faith, she was a long-time member of the First Presbyterian Church and most recently a member of the Eastridge Presbyterian Church.

She is remembered by her family and friends for her big smile and infectious giggle. A loving sister, aunt, and friend, she is survived by her brothers: Gary A. Dilley (Anne) of Arlington, MA, and Timothy K. Dilley (Patricia) of North Platte, NE; as well as a long list of nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A memorial service is being planned at Eastridge Presbyterian Church for April 9, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. A graveside ceremony in North Platte, NE, will be conducted at a future date.

I had the pleasure of ushering with Dee Ann at Eastridge for many years. She was very kind and caring, with a sweet smile and laugh. I always enjoyed visiting with her. She was a friend and will be missed.
