Dale was a long-standing member of Smyrna Presbyterian Church, where she served faithfully as an Elder and Clerk of Session for several terms. She also enjoyed singing in the choir.

She worked for over 30 years at Rockingham County Health and Human Services, retiring the summer her granddaughter was born so she could devote all her energy to the love, cuddles, and enthusiastic dress, hairbow, and toy buying for said child.

She was a devoted wife and mother and was fiercely loved by her family.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Smyrna Presbyterian Church, c/o Ann Dixon, 291 Crowder Road, Madison, NC 27025.
