Obituary of Cathy Dilliott
Dilliott, Cathleen Lynn
It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of Cathleen “Cathy” Lynn Dilliott on July 13 th , 2022 at
the age of 66.
Cathy was born August 16, 1955 to the late Kenneth “Red” (2014) and Betty (nee Gotelaer) Osborne.
Beloved wife of Kevin Dilliott.
Loving sister to Patty (Dale) Smith and Ken Jr. (Kathleen) Osborne.
Dearly missed by her nieces Jennifer, Kimberly and Cailtin and nephew Callahan.
Loved by mother-in-law Lorraine Dilliott (late Archie 2014).
One of Cathy’s passions was spending time tending to her Italian gardens which she was very proud of.
When not attending to a wedding through the business Phoenix Accessories Wedding and Event Venue she was busy importing and selling bonded marble statues from Europe. Cathy and Kevin were avid travelers to Europe and especially to Prague which was their home away from home.
Cathy truly loved life and life loved Cathy. Her kind spirit will live on in the people she loved the most.
Cremation has taken place. A private family graveside service at St. Michael’s Cemetery will be held at a later date.
If desired, memorial donations to Ridgetown Horticultural Society, Chatham Kent Hospice or the charity of your choice are appreciated by the family.
