In Loving Memory of Jacqueline Rena Dillon Jacqueline Rena Dillon, 59, of Bradley, Illinois passed away on July 19, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of creativity, resilience, and devotion to her family. She was born on January 31, 1967, in Greenville, Mississippi, to the late Ida Mae Williams and Lewis Williams II. Jackie was raised in a family of nine where she learned the importance of hard work, faith, and caring for others. Growing up in a large household, she developed the talents and resilience that would serve her throughout her life, particularly her aptitude for numbers, her creativity, and her ability to work with her hands. She graduated from Kankakee High School and later attended Kankakee Community College. Jackie had a brilliant accounting mind, and she was a gifted creator. If she could imagine it, she could make it. She had an exceptional talent for braiding and styling hair and sewing clothing and crocheting – a gift that amazed everyone who saw her work. Jackie found joy in creating with her hands. Like her beloved mother, Jackie inherited a gift for cooking. She delighted in cooking for her family and bringing loved ones together. Her home was often filled with laughter, good food, warms spirits, and competitive Spades games. Jackie's greatest accomplishment was her family. She loved her daughters. And becoming a grandmother brought her happiness. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she cherished spending time with them. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ida Mae Williams and Lewis Williams II; brothers Lewis Williams III, Thomas Williams, and Steven Williams; and her niece, Latava Jones. She leaves behind her three beloved daughters and precious grandchildren to cherish her memory: Quiana (Reese) Jones, and her children Joseph Washington, Jacor Washington, and Jaiden Washington; Rosheda (Net) Dillon, and her children Tristan Hughes Jr. and Londyn Hughes; Roshonda (Shon) Dillon, and her children Nia Dillon, Stormie McDonald, and Thunder McDonald; She is also survived by her siblings, Ramona D. Jones, Trenia Jones, Tronia Link, Cornelius Williams, and Lakeisha Steele; and a host of nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews, uncles, aunts, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever cherish her memory.
