Shirley Ann Ewing Dillon, 90, of Wooster, Ohio, passed away Wednesday, June 23, 2021, at Brookdale in Wooster. She was born August 9, 1930, in Wayne County, a daughter of Guy J. and Louise Lawton Ewing.
Shirley was broker/owner of Landes & Landes Real Estate for 35 years and was a member of Jeromesville Trinity Lutheran Church. She was a member of the National Association of Realtors, Ohio Association of Realtors, Wayne Holmes Association of Realtors, Ashland Board of Realtors and a life member of the Women's Auxiliary Jerome Post #749. She also taught piano for 50 years in the Jeromesville area and was a member of Quota Club for many years. Shirley loved selling real estate – it was her passion. It was never a job to her, instead it was what she lived to do. She only just "retired" in January of this year.
She is survived by two sons, Carl (Priscilla) Siegenthaler and Jeff (Mariafe) Siegenthaler, all of Jeromesville, Ohio; a daughter, LeeAnn Poth of Wooster; five grandchildren, Jason, John, Guy, Molly and Logan; nine greatgrandchildren; two sisters, Treva Croskey of Knoxville, Tenn., and Sara Smith of Washington; and two brothers, Alan Ewing of Norwalk, Ohio, and Gail Ewing of San Carlos, Calif.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
Services will be 3 p.m. Saturday, June 26, in Fickes Funeral Home in Jeromesville, with Pastor Jerry Rhea officiating. Burial will be in Reedsburg Cemetery for family only please.
Friends may call from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, June 25, in the funeral home.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude for their kindness and compassion to nurse Monica and nurse Connie at Brookdale Senior Living and nurse Kathy at Brookdale Hospice.

Carl and Jeffery, I am so sorry to hear that your mother is gone. I have known her since a little girl taking piano lessons. She had a lot of patience to put up with me, but I learned a lot from her and admired her always. She had a great sense of style and the gift of gab. She will be missed. My sympathy to the family, Debbie

Your mother was an amazing woman as I am sure you all are aware of. She was so much more to me than my real estate agent. We were friends for forty years and I loved and admired her wisdom, strength, and fierce loyalty to those she loved. She was more than a friend she was like family and I will truly miss her and the conversations we had. You will all be in my prayers.
