Mrs. Dale was a member of First Presbyterian Church, previously serving as Treasurer. She was also a member of the James K. Polk Memorial Association, Columbia Garden Club, and a highly dedicated CASA volunteer. She treasured friendships and activities with her longtime book club and bridge club.
Mrs. Dale was among the nicest and politest ladies you will ever meet. She greatly enjoyed decorating with bunny and bird themes, Christmas decorations regardless of the season, as well as bird watching and collecting seashells. She loved shopping for baby and children’s clothes and spending time with her family, especially her delightful young grandsons.

Dale, Jr. of Columbia; daughter, Caroline Dale (Christopher) Simpson of Bethesda, Maryland; sister, Susan Chadick (Jerry Miller) of Arlington, Virginia; grandchildren, Tyler Dale Simpson and James Dale Simpson both of Bethesda, Maryland; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins who live across the country.
