On Saturday, May 22, Dale Donna Marie Vanhorn, a strong, proud woman, gifted with a terrific smile and hug passed away at the age of 62 years. Dale died in Sudbury at home surrounded by loved ones.
Dale will be lovingly remembered by her husband Robert; daughters Joe-Anne, Debbie (Sean), and grandson Patrick; as well as many relatives including her sisters and brothers (Danny, Sheila, Sharon and Dwight). Dale was predeceased by her sister Shirley and her parents Margarite & Donald Clark. She will be sadly missed by family friends, nieces and nephews.
Raised on Manitoulin Island, Dale was a caregiver for many. When anyone needed a partner in crime, a helping hand, or an ear to listen, she would be there. Her one true love was her childhood sweetheart Robert. His ever present patience and devotion was treasured for over 46 years.
A special thank you to those at the shared team at Maison McCulloh Hospice is Sudbury that helped ensure her last wishes were met as she passed peacefully in her home. Donations to honour Dale's memory can be made to Maison McCulloh Hospice. A gathering for immediate family will be organized at a later date.
