Dale Wanamaker Obituary
Dale Arthur Wanamaker, 71, passed peacefully at home on June 14, 2025 due to complications from a stroke.
Dale was a mischievous man who often had a twinkle in his eye that made you wonder what trouble he was up to. He could make you laugh and roll your eyes at the same time. He would "push your buttons," just because. Dale lived a life that was packed with stories, some he would share, but for others he would say, "I'd have to kill you if I told you."
Dale's talented woodworking, home improvement projects and crafty art pieces are shared throughout the homes of his family and friends. Dale had a true love of Alaska, fishing, hunting, skiing, and soccer which brought him many lifelong friends. He loved to socialize with these friends, and strangers alike - often over an IPA "filled to the brim, with no foam." If you met Dale, you got a glimpse of his loyalty and commitment to his family, and of course, to his opinions.
Dale is deeply loved and survived by his wife Rosanne Wanamaker (Gitti), children Taylor (Kristine) Wanamaker, Gabriel Wanamaker, Britana (Cole) Uppinghouse, Nicole (Garret) Christenson; grandchildren Jax, Daphne, Amelia, Poppy, Iris, Dale; and many other dearly beloved family members and friends. (As Dale would say, "You know who you are.") To leave a message or memory for the family go to www.bonnersferryfuneralhome.com.
