She shared a loving marriage of 52 years with her husband, Peter L P Dillon, and together they built a family filled with love and laughter.

A graduate of the University of Tennessee, she forged a distinguished career as a Certified Financial Planner, working with Lincoln Chase Bank and Sage Rutty Financial Services. Her careful guidance and professionalism helped countless clients and colleagues over the years.

Beyond her professional life, Ann was deeply devoted to helping others. She volunteered in the Family Court System, offering compassion and stability to those navigating challenging times.Her community leadership included active memberships in Christ Episcopal Church, the Junior League of Rochester, and the Chatterbox Club. She also lent her insight and integrity to several community boards, where her thoughtful counsel made a lasting impact. 

Ann approached life with curiosity and joy. She was an avid reader and walker, a devoted wildflower and bird enthusiast, and an active member of her garden clubs. She delighted in a good game of bridge and treasured every opportunity to inspire and encourage her family. Her gracious presence and bright spirit will be profoundly missed.
