    What a helpful, friendly, fun & funny person Dale was. She was a great friend and neighbor to my parents., Fred and Edna, and was particularly kind in looking out for my mom after Fred’s death in 2016. I very much enjoyed her company when I was lucky enough to share it. I know my mom will miss her greatly.
    Thanks for everything, Dale.

    Dale left us too soon. I still remember the summers at the Elder’s cottage in the late 1950s when we shared the cottage with the Cattos. A time when us kids could spend the summer days being kids and helping out on the farms. Good memories. Spoke to Diane about coming back but because of Covid and restrictions, she suggested not to come. Our hearts go out to Bill and the rest of the family.

We had a great ride Dale, even though apart for so many years, our friendship survived. My Sincerest Condolences to Bill, your daughters and family. They will always rejoice in the beautiful memories that they have of you, just as I will… Rest In Peace Dale… much love…

    To Bill and family,
    I taught with Dale for many years and she was always upbeat, smiling, joking and full of energy. When I met her a little over a year ago, we were both in the hospital waiting for our catscans. My heart sank when she told me she was battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer. We chatted for nearly an hour before Bill picked her up. Despite all that she was still same wonderful girl that I remember – smiling and positive even though she was unsure of her future. This Covid World needs more people like Dale.

  31. Bev Kyro

    November 28, 2021 at 2:45 pm

    Dale left us too soon. A beautiful lady inside and out. So grateful for our friendship and many shared experiences over the years. Miss her so much! XO Condolences to Bill, David, Cheryl, Lauren and all the family.

    The Matheson Family
    News of Dales passing was sad news indeed. Dale was a lovely pleasant person and will be greatly missed.
    Our friendship goes back 50 years through Bill’s employment connection. We had our last luncheon at NOTL
    in October 2019 and at Dales insistence were waiting for an appropriate time after Covid to meet again. Our social meetings will seem depopulated. Dale will always be remembered. Please accept our condolences.

Hopefully all your treasured memories help and those personal thoughts that in times of great sadness can bring on a smile or laughter . Dale was proud of you all and would not want anything less. We are sure she is flying with the angels and at peace. It is unfortunate we can’t be with you to honour Dale.

    Our Deepest sympathies..
    You and Kelly were such good school friends that
    Your Mom was like a second mom to Kelly.
    We used to talk about what a great friendship you had
    And how much we enjoyed the two of you. Both of us
    being teachers , we always had many things to talk about.
    She was a caring woman, with a sense of humour and a positive
    Outlook on life. Remember the fun you had and all of your family memories.
    Hugs to you and your family

    Cheryl and Family,
    Memories of your Mom go as far back as I can remember, to the days when David and I would hide out in laundry room cupboards and peer through the kitchen window at the ‘two red eyes’. She is tied into our lives in a way that only kids growing up on the court could understand. Our childhoods would not have been the same without her. She was a wonderful Mom- and dancing ‘Mom’- and will be sincerely missed by us all. My deepest condolences to you, Lauren, David, your Dad and all the family.

  46. Debbie Rudolph

    November 28, 2021 at 11:43 pm

    I’m so sorry for your loss! Dale was one of the nicest, most sincere people that I’ve had the privilege of spending time with! It was my honour to have spent so many fun hours tap dancing together! Dale always had a smile on her face and was always willing to re-teach the most recent steps to me. Her memory was fantastic and Dale was such a patient teacher!I am grateful that Dale knew how much I cared for her! Rest In Peace, Dale! I’m sure you are smiling down on us while you are dancing in heaven!

    Dale and I shared an office at Robert J. Lee. She brought such joy and laughter to the room and to the school. She always had a story, a connection and a great listening ear. It was clearly evident the pride that she had for her family. I have missed teaching with her and I will miss our too few chats in Bolton. My deepest sympathy to the Matheson family on such a great loss.

    Mr. Matheson, David, Cheryl and Lauren,

    I was so saddened to hear about the loss of your mother.

    I have so many amazing memories from “The Court”. It was like a second home. Your Mom of course made it feel that way.

    She will be thought of often. Hugs to you all.

    As we age, we are left with “memories”, some good, some bad. With Dale, they were all good. From curling, to our fond memories at “Grand Island” golfing that Bill arranged . We are so glad for the friendship that came from that connection.

    Dave and family, I am sorry to learn of Mrs. Matheson’s passing.

    She supply taught me many times over the years.

    Always cheerful, and she always remembered my name, even years after supply teaching me when I became friends with Dave.

    I always thought that was really special that she remembered.

    Thinking about all of you at this time.

    Bill, although we expressed our sincere deepest sympathies to your family at the funeral home one memory we had intended to mention was the fact that Dale always took pride when she was referred to as “The World’s Greatest Lead” and that is only one of the many fond memories we will always have.

    Dear Matheson family,
    I have just learned of Dale’s passing. My deepest sympathy. Although not close friends, I always looked forward to meeting up with Dale. We became acquainted as teachers when I taught the enhanced learning at Ellwood and also when she taught my daughter french. Dale reminded me that we had been students at Vic together. Her vibrant spirit and genuine interest in her students was evident and over the years, we enjoyed many long ‘catch-ups’ in Bolton. Dale always enquired about my daughters and she shared the aspirations and accomplishments of her children. She was the consummate proud mom. May your memories of her kind and caring nature carry you through this very difficult time. My heartfelt sympathy,
    Pam McGugan

    We send our deepest sympathies to Bill & family & friends of Dale’s. I will always remember our early days on Valleyview, new home, new neighbours but Dale’s always made everyone feel welcome. She was a lovely lady inside & out. She was taken from us much too soon, she will be greatly missed. Rest in eternal peace.

    Dear Bill, David and family,
    We are so sorry, we have just learned of Your very sad news and send our heartfelt condolences.
    Dale had a vibrant personality and I remember how she talked about her love of family, dancing, and curling. We spent many good times at tournaments and parties with you all when the boys were young and playing hockey and Dale always had a smile. Pat and I are thinking of you and send love.

    I am very sorry to hear of Dale’s passing . She had a great sense of spirit and enthusiasm for teaching and life and I appreciated her fine sense of humor. I am sure she continued with the same positive attitude until the end. I enjoyed working with Dale and our friendship continued into retirement. She will be truly missed.
    My condolences to her family.
