Penny Howard Dillon
October 21, 1948 — May 31, 2019
Penny Ann Howard Dillon passed away on May 31, 2019 following a lengthy illness at the age of 70. Mrs. Dillon was born on October 21 to Alton Guy, Jr. and Ruth Morin in Pontiac, a small town in Michigan where she grew up and graduated high school. She lived in several states throughout her childhood and early adulthood, including Virginia and Maryland, before she eventually settled down in Florida.
Mrs. Dillon met her husband of 30 years, Danny Dillon, at a small pub in 1984. They danced all night, fell in love, and were hitched just three years later. Mrs. Dillon tried her hand at a number of different careers over the years, and although Mrs. Dillon was a multitalented professional, her passions were outside of work. She loved her garden, her pets, and most of all, her family. Mrs. Dillon was always happiest when surrounded by her family and her pets, and especially her beloved dog TT.
Mrs. Dillon is preceded in death by her mother and father, brother and sister, granddaughter Angela Burney, and husband Danny Dillon. Survivors include her 2 daughters, Shelia Grant and her husband Erik, and Sonya Howard and her fianc� Kenneth; 6 grandchildren, Eric Burney and his wife Jessica, Amanda Avery and her husband Jesse, Austin Avery and his wife Ashley, Marques Burney, Jarrett Sandifer, and Hayden Grant; and 3 great-grandchildren, Hendry, Josiah, and Elijah.
Penny Howard Dillon was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend who touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed. She will be remembered for her love of sweets, cereal, gardening, and animals, but also for her sassy personality and the love she had for her family. She passed away peacefully at 2:46am surrounded by her family at home; she was just waiting for Dan to fill up the gas tank and come pick her up, and then she was on her way to walk in peace with him forever.
A small funeral service will be held Saturday, June 8, beginning with family visitation at 10:30am, followed by the service at 11:00am, at Naugle Funeral Home, 1203 Hendricks Ave. A reception and butterfly releasing ceremony at the family home will follow the service. Family and friends are welcome to attend and celebrate Penny's life. Condolences can be sent to https://www.nauglefuneral.com/obituaries/Penny-Dillon/ . The family would like to thank Penny's daytime nurse at Memorial Hospital, Ashley, as well as the caregivers with Vitas Hospice for their compassion and care in the final weeks of Penny's life, particularly: Darlene, Eunice, Norma, Shanna, Sharon, and Susan.
