Marian Agnes (Kotch) Dicton. 95 9/28/1926 – 12/9/2021 Rutland Town: Marian Dicton, 95, passed peacefully at home and went to greet her Savior on Thursday, December 9, 2021. Born in Swoyersville, PA on September 28, 1926, to Andrew and Elizabeth (Bosak) Kotch, Marian lived her early life in the Wilkes-Barre, PA area along with siblings Andrew, Michael, and surviving brother, Stephen. Marian married Joseph S. Dicton, Sr, on February 23, 1952, in Luzerne County, PA. Their careers in the garment industry took them to Brooklyn, NY, and eventually in the mid-1950s to reside in Long Island, NY where they became self-employed owners of Joe’s Nursery and Landscaping. In 1977 they moved themselves and their operation to Rutland Town, VT where they continued the nursery and landscaping business with son, Joseph S. Dicton, Jr., at the helm. Marian was an avid reader and gardener. Quick with a joke, she had a great sense of humor. She enjoyed many outdoor activities including the Green Mountain Hiking Club and running, actively involved with the Senior Olympics. Though nothing brought her more pleasure than her Catholic faith and that life-long devotion. Survived by Joseph S. Dicton, Jr and granddaughter Hannah Dicton, both of Rutland Town, VT. Various nieces and nephews will also mourn her loss. A mass of Christian burial will be celebrated on Friday, December 17, 2021, at Christ the King Church in Rutland, VT at 10:00 a.m. Burial will follow in Spring 2022 at the Family’s convenience. Memorial contributions may be made to Bayada Hospice, 190 S. Main Street, Rutland, VT 05701.
