Most importantly, she is survived by the lights of her life, her grandnieces, Alexa Nida and Amelia Bennett.

Dale was incomparable - words won't do her justice. Dale was funny - an incredible storyteller, and she never met a stranger. She loved to learn about new things - forever going down Google rabbit holes and sharing what she'd learned. Dale loved being in the sun - either by a pool or at the beach, and her generosity of spirit was unmatched. She had charisma, a magnetic personality and the quickest of wits. We will miss her tremendously.
