Marianne Dimos Obituary

Dear Dimos Family,

Your parents were probably 2 of the nicest people I ever met. Your dad and mom gave my roommate from college and I a ride home to Merrillville from Purdue when we were freshmen many, many years ago. They had been to campus to visit your dad's brother, Tom, who was a senior. I can honestly say that was one of the nicest car rides home. All of us talked and talked and the time went by seemingly in a flash. What really struck me was how interested both of your parents were in hearing what we had to say. You were truly blessed to have such great parents. I was saddened to hear of you mom's recent passing. She was a wonderful person and the perfect companion for your dad. May her memory be eternal.

I miss you so much sweet lady! I hope you are resting easy now. You were the strongest and most loving person! Your memories will be forever cherished, and you are truly missed! I am thankful for being lucky to ha e met and taken care of you during my time as a caregiver. I wish I could have said goodbye before I resigned. It broke my heart to hear of your passing. Prayers to your family.

May Her Memory be Eternal.

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting marianne at the beginning of her therapy journey, last year. I witnessed Marianne at a very raw, most vulnerable state, unable to do many things on her own. But from the very first moment I met Marianne, the other thing I bore witness to was that women's sheer goodness, love of family and life, and a determination to work and mend and heal, participate, and live each day to its fullest. I've met very few people with Marianne's unique zest for life - everyday she was a combination of funny, insightful, vulnerability, grit, and above all else, genuine joy and love to/for the people around her. The first time I got a hug from Marianne was at the end of her first incredibly difficult and humbling therapy session. I recieved a hug and and an 'I love you' every single time I saw Marianne, whether I was working with her or not. Everyone did. That's just who Marianne was. That's the Marianne I will carry in my heart. That's the Marianne I will greatly miss. RIP, sweet Marianne.

I am very sorry to hear of Marianne's passing. I remember her and her husband since the days they owned the Beauty Spot Restaurant. In future years her husband John sold real-estate with my wife for Allied Realty. She was always a very nice person and a class act. May her memory be forever eternal.

I was blessed to work with Marianne at Porter Hospital for many years and loved her dearly. She was one of the most interesting people I have ever met. I loved our political conversations and her life stories. I will always think of her with a smile. I am truly blessed to have known her. My sincere condolences to her family. She will be missed by so many people.

I was so sad to read of Marianne's passing. I had the pleasure of knowing her during her time at Porter. There was nothing that Marianne wouldn't do to help anyone in need....anything at all. She was on it! She was friendly and kind and when she left Porter, I missed seeing her in the halls. I am sorry for your loss...Marianne was truly a gem and I will miss her.

Marianne was a very hard working volunteer coordinator at Porter Regional Hospital where I first met her. I don't know anyone who would have spent all the long hours she did as a coordinator. I'm certain she is looking down from above and hoping the volunteers can get back to working at Porter. Marianne, you are missed! I encourage her family to let us know when there will be a memorial service for Marianne.

Marianne was one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and my heart hurts to know I will never talk to her again.
Sending love to her family.

I immediately loved Marianne when first meeting her years ago. She was the aunt of Don Fosse, my partner. What an amazing person with a big heart. So easy to know. My heart goes out to her family at this time...she will be missed terribly. She is one person who I admired so much in this life. Rest in Peace dear Marianne..you were a dear friend and such a joy to know. I love you.
