Francis Dinan Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lambie Funeral Home - Philadelphia on Feb. 14, 2026.
Francis "Babe" Dinan, age 81, passed away on February 14, 2026.

He was the beloved husband of the late Kay Dinan. Babe was a loving, proud father to Michael Dinan (Amy) and Bernadette Piper (TJ) and the very best "Pop" to Emma, Winnie, and Beau. He was the cherished brother of the late Mary Donnelly and the devoted brother of Thomas Dinan. He is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.

A true "mate" to all who knew him, Babe will be dearly missed.

Relatives and friends are invited to greet his family on February 25, 2025 from 9:15AM - 10:15AM at St. Matthew's R.C. Church – Upper Church, 3000 Cottman Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19149. His Mass of Christian Burial will follow at the church at 10:30AM. Interment will be held privately.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Frank's memory may be made to St. Matthew R.C. Church.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
