It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Sandra Bliley Dillon, a cherished mother, grandmother, sister, and friend to many, who left us on Wednesday, November 19th, 2025, at the age of 77. Born on March 12th, 1948, in Richmond, Virginia, and was predeceased by her loving parents, James Walter Bliley and Evelyn Boyce Bliley, whose guidance and support she treasured every day of her life. She was preceded in death by her husband, George William Dillon.
As a diligent bookkeeper for Clarksville Pharmacy, Sandra left an indelible mark in her professional community. Her career path also took her to Russell Stover, where she made lasting bonds and friends who fondly remember her commitment and warmth. More than her professional endeavors, Sandra was ardently devoted to her family and her furry companions, whom she deeply loved. Her home was a haven of laughter and joy, filled with the playful antics of pets she adored. Sandra took immense pride in her role as a mother and grandmother, always cherishing the time spent with her beloved family members.
She is survived by a daughter, Kathy Gusti Tollison (Tim Clay); son, Steven Craig Hudson (Alison); grandchildren, Dylan Charles Gusti, Gracie Danielle Gusti, Caroline Grace Wells, Riley James Wells, Abby Nicole Hudson & Maggie Raylee Hudson and sister, Janet Bliley Cameron.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, and son-in-law, Larry "Jay" Tollison.
A Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 PM on Sunday, November 23, 2025 at Watkins Cooper Lyon Funeral Home Chapel with Reverend Dr. Greg Randall and Reverend Dan Jarrell officiating. Burial will follow in Oakhurst Cemetery. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service, 1:00 PM until service time at Watkins Cooper Lyon Funeral Home.
The family requests in lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial in Sandra's memory to Victoria Fire & Rescue or Kenbridge Volunteer Fire Department.
