When Dale was home, she was working outside. Dale was very meticulous when it came to her yard and flowers. Inside the home you could also see her passion for decorating no matter the season. Dale also enjoyed her many shopping trips with Carla.
Dale taught in the Craven County School System for over 30 years. Throughout those years she made lasting friendships with fellow teachers and students. She was an active member of Wintergreen Free Will Baptist Church. She enjoyed helping with the church and members of the community.
Dale will be remembered most for her devotion to her family especially her cherished grandchildren and being a caregiver for her mother. She always made sure holidays and birthdays were extra special. She and Johnnie attended every sporting event and activity for each of their grandchildren. She enjoyed cooking, being with family and traveling with Johnnie. She lived in the moment. Dale will be missed by all those who had the privilege to know and love her.
