Mrs. Dill was a faithful pastor's wife who shared in her husband's ministry. Together they started the Lebanon Church in November of 1957.

After retirement, they continued to fill in various pulpits in the area.
Mrs. Dill will be remembered and cherished as the eyes of her husband Rev. Dill, who was completely blind. She was completely faithful in her calling to always be supportive in the ministry they shared together. She will be missed.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Rev. Robert L. Dill. She leaves behind many nieces, nephews, and extended family.
