One of the nicest people on the planet. Dale was kind and generous and will be missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
My mother, Bonnye Sampson (nee Brand) was life-long best friends with Dale. They were close as sisters, and always looked after each other.
When Bonnye had a stroke and began to show signs of Alzheimer's (just as Dale's mother, Bonnie, had as well), Dale knew what to expect and helped me and my father in preparing for the difficult task of taking care of her. Dale took time off work to be with Bonnye as much as possible, and was always only a phone call away whenever she experienced a violent dementia episode. Throughout it all, Dale was the only person that Bonnye was able to recognize, even up to her final days, and seeing Dale enter the room was enough to instantly calm and brighten her mood.
It was a beautiful and touching friendship that lasted nearly 70 years.
Becoming a friend of Dale’s was an honor and privilege. Our friendship began at Covenant Baptist Church. We began meeting for walking exercise and/or coffee. Dale’s pursuit/insight and love for God’s Word was the central theme of our conversations and friendship. Dale was truly a god-given friend who blessed my life immensely the last two years. Dale was an inspiration.
I got to know Dale when I had the opportunity to teach her Sunday School class a few times. We always had such deep & interesting conversations after the lesson. I loved her willingness to share her insight. What a lovely & remarkable sister in Christ who has now been promoted to glory with Him.

I can so easily see Dale with her easy smile, quick laugh, and her always kind heart and laid back demeanor. Crossing the skies back and forth with her—always a pleasure. My condolences to her family. ✈️ ✨ Harriet Sabbatini
