Stanley Dale Obituary

MORRISDALE - Stanley E. Dale of Morrisdale (Pinchy), peacefully went to be with the lord and his wife on March 8, 2026, at the age of 79.

He was born May 25, 1946, and was the son of the late John and Jane (Rauch) Dale.

On July 5, 1968, Stanley married Diana G. Parks, having four children: John Dale (wife Kimberly Dale) of Morrisdale; Tanya Dale of Morrisdale; Adam Dale (wife Stephanie Dale) of Bigler; and William (Billy) Dale (wife Chastity Dale) of Morrisdale. Stanley was the caring pap of twelve grandchildren and six great grandchildren. He has one surviving sister Gail Laird (spouse Elmer Laird Jr.) and was proceeded in death by sister Susan Dale and a baby brother.

Stanley served as a crane operator on the USS Canopus (AS - 34) ship in Spain during the Vietnam War. As well as being a veteran of the Navy, Stanley worked many machinery jobs to support his family.

He was a proud Christian man who prided himself in his gained wisdom and literary knowledge. Upon entering his home, he would sit in the dining room recliner and tell many stories. Whether that be stories from the military or deep Bible lessons with touching meanings. His pool was always open to any rascal Pinchy kids who wanted to cool off in the summers. Also, his descendants enjoyed his land to ride ATV's and bring him back prized hunted game.

He deeply loved his wife Diane and cared for her as well as his children and great grandchildren.

Stanley is rejoicing with the Lord in heaven now, and prayers for his family are welcomed.

There will be no public visitation, and funeral services will be private.

When I was little, Stanley helped on the farm. We all looked up to him as part of our family. Years later, my husband was surprised when he found out Stanley and I were cousins. I'll always have fond memories of Stanley.
