Dale Dooley Obituary
7/1/1949-4/7/2012
Dale Bebko Dooley died on Saturday, April 7, 2012, after a long illness. Born July 1, 1949, she grew up in New York, moved south in 1969 and lived most of her life in Atlanta. She graduated summa cum laude from Clemson University in 1971 with a BA in English Literature. Dale was artistically inclined and had a love of, and talent for, music. She had a brilliant mind, a good heart and a troubled spirit.
She was predeceased by her sister, Ellen Bebko Languit, of Albuquerque, NM; and her parents, Evelyn and Eugene Bebko. She is survived by her husband, Robert Dooley; a sister, Elizabeth Bebko Marshall (Daniel); and a brother, Charles Bebko (Christi).
May peace be with her now, through God's infinite grace.
The family is at their respective homes.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Safe Homes/Rape Crisis Coalition, 236 Union Street, Spartanburg, SC, 29302.

I grew up with Dale in New Hyde Park , New York and went to school with her, grade school to high school(New Hyde Park Memorial High School). She lived across the park from me. I remember having a crush on her, her smile and vivacious ways were infectious. She was a sweetheart. It is sobering how life can erode even the gentle spirited ones among us. My sincere condolences to all her friends and family

I only knew Dale for three years -- 1969 to 1971. I still have wonderful memories of having met someone so beautiful and so talented. Of all the things that I remember from my English classes in Strode Tower, Dale overwhelms them all. I hope she found things in life that brought similar joy to her heart.

Dear Liz and "Doc" ,
I will never forget being dazzled by Dale's beauty and brilliance in classes at Clemson. I pray that her spirit at last has found peace. Sincerely, Cyndy (and Colin) Urquhart
