FRANKLIN – Kathleen “Kathy” Elizabeth Dillon, 51, passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2021.
Kathy was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan to Terry Eugene and Jane Reno Dillon on April 8, 1969. She brought so many blessings and happiness into their lives. While growing up, Kathy got to move around with her parents quite often. Each place she lived, she participated in Special Olympics and received numerous medals; she was so proud of each of them.
After moving to Franklin, Kathy was able to show her independence by getting to move out on her own at Macon County Group Home. She loved her independence and attended First Baptist Church when she could. She became well known at the Franklin Fitness Center and was loved by all who came to know her.
She is survived by her parents, Terry and Jane Reno Dillon of Franklin; two brothers, Matthew TerBeek (Lori) of Pleasureville, Kentucky and Jeffrey TerBeek of Sparta, Michigan; one sister, Jill Simpson (John) of Crawfordville, Florida; and three nephews, Scotty and Bryce TerBeek and Tanner Simpson. Also surviving is her uncle, Jim Reno (Sheila) of Holland, Michigan; aunt Sheri Oosting (David) of Valrico, Florida; and nine cousins.
No services are planned.
