Stephen Noel Dillon

Stephen Noel Dillon, age 93, of Chehalis, Washington passed away on Monday, October 11, 2021. Noel was born January 15, 1928, to Annie Quille and Stephen Dillon in Trieneragh, County Kerry, Ireland. He attended trade school there for electrical and carpentry. After moving to the U.S in 1953, Noel married Eileen Ann Polzner on February 5, 1955, in Christ the King Church of Cleveland.

One of Noel's greatest achievements was getting all seven of his children through higher education. After retiring as an electrician for National Frozen Foods in 1990, Noel immersed himself in gardening, visiting his family in Ireland and being a faithful member of his church, St Joseph's, of Chehalis.

Noel is survived by his children Kathleen, Chuck (Rena), Jeremiah (Cheryl), Marie, Patrick (Becky), Rita (Dan), and Susan; his grandchildren Megan, Jeremiah Jr., Sean, Kendra, Michael, Alyssa, John, Kathryn, and Jack, as well as his great grandchildren Melody and Maribel.

Noel was preceded in death by his wife Eileen Dillon; his son-in-law John; his parents Annie and Stephen Dillon; his siblings Patrick, Michael, Jeremiah, Bill, Maurice, Sean, Teresa and Joseph; as well as his dear friends Ed and Rita Cahill, Phil and Patricia Caponi, Jim and Marie McMahon, Joe Moran, Chuck and Carmen Waelbrock, and Sister Mercedes.
