Patricia Ann Dillon was born on November 21, 1948, in Del Norte, Colorado, to Paul and Arlene (Macy) Lincoln, and passed away in Paonia, Colorado, on March 29, 2026. She was a talented and dedicated nurse practitioner throughout her adult life and was deeply committed to serving others.
She married Craig Dillon in Denver, Colorado, and shortly afterward the couple returned to Del Norte. After several years, they relocated to Montrose, Colorado. Patricia was an avid equestrian who enjoyed long horseback rides in the backcountry. Her compassion as a caregiver throughout her extensive nursing career positively impacted innumerable families.
She is survived by her husband, Craig; her children, Matt (Jennifer) and Avalon (Dale); and her two grandchildren, Kayde and Payton. Her resilient strength and confident demeanor resonated with all who met her, leaving a lasting impression.
