Obituary of Priscilla Dillon

(nee Herrick)

Lovingly, surrounded by family at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital on Wednesday evening, April 10, 2024, Priscilla was called home to heaven at the age of 91.

Beloved wife of the late Wilfred.

Loved and treasured mother of Maureen Murray (late Bob), Gerry Dillon (Jackie), Darrell Dillon (Elizabeth Roesler) and Doug Dillon (Isabelle Aveine).

Proud and cherished grandma of Leanne (Ken), James, Allan (Whitney), Jessica (Justin), Jennifer, Mitchell and Amelia.

Daughter of the late PJ and Ella (nee McVean) Herrick.

Fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews and friends.

Priscilla’s love and care for her family always came first. She was a skilled artist and craftworker, and had a green thumb like no other. Her faith in her Lord and her devotion to her parish never wavered. In her later years she used her skills to create rosaries for the Franciscans and loved every minute of it. 

She will be greatly missed.

Special thank you to Dr. Gordon and the nursing staff at the Arnprior Hospital for their exceptional care and compassion.
