GRACE DOLORES BURNS-DALE entered into eternal peace in the arms of her Lord and Savior after a courageous and valiant battle with cancer, at the age of 73 years on Wednesday January 7, 2009 at St. Michael’s Palliative Care Unit with her family by her side. Words cannot express the profound sadness that her passing leaves in the lives of all who hold the honor of knowing her. Grace was born in Medicine Hat on April 29, 1935. She was raised and received her schooling in Barons. Grace graduated with her Laboratory & X-ray Technician certification from North Western Institute in Minneapolis Minnesota in 1954. She worked in the medical field for many years. She will be desperately missed and forever in our hearts of her family. She is survived by her son Brian (Enid) of Parksville, B.C., daughter Venita (Rick) of Champion and her 7 grandchildren Meghan, Brittany, Cole, Jarred, Rebecca, Josiah and Jessica. In April 2000 Grace was married to Douglas Dale from Kansas in Branson Missouri. He was killed in a tragic accident in 2002. Grace possessed a passion and exuberance for life. Her positive attitude was a beacon for those around her. She was a gifted seamstress and enjoyed all kinds of handiwork, creating many beautiful keepsakes for her family. She was always working on something as her hands were never still. Being outside and working in her yard and garden was another hobby she enjoyed. Grace was a wonderful cook and enjoyed preparing delicious meals & baking for those she loved. Grace always had a deep love for the mountains and enjoyed many memorable times in their grandeur and beauty. Over the years she met and kept many friends and cherished them very much. Grace was predeceased by her dad Earl Burns in 1970, her brother Robert in 1990 and her mom Jeannie Burns in 2002.
