Lillian Virginia Scott Dillon, 87, passed away peacefully at home on January 27, 2022. Virginia, as she was known to family and friends, was born January 18, 1935 in Newport News, Va. to Jesse J. and Lillian Majette Scott. Virginia was a graduate of Smithfield High School and Westhampton College - University of Richmond. She was an accomplished organist and pianist, and taught piano lessons in her home for over 40 years. She was active as the pianist for the Hilton Baptist Church Singing Saints for a number of years. When in her seventies, she embarked on a new hobby with her husband as an alpaca farmer and breeder, a pastime she thoroughly enjoyed. Virginia is survived by her loving husband of 65 years, Alvin C. Dillon; daughter Renee Lockwood (John); son Scott Dillon; granddaughter Jessica Moore (Derrick), grandsons, Nathan and Nash Dillon, and two greatgrandchildren, as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, Glenn Allen Scott. The family would like to thank the dedicated caregivers who have been so caring and attentive to Virginia for the past several years. The family will receive friends from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm January 31, 2022 at Little’s Funeral Home, 1515 S. Church St. in Smithfield, with a funeral service to immediately follow by Rev.
