Mrs. Dittman loved to be around her family, especially at the holidays. She was a huge Patriots fan and wore her favorite red Patriots sweatshirt all the time. One of her favorite things was to sit in her chair and listen to her murder mystery tapes with the volume turned way up! She will be missed by many.
