Beverley May Dale

Beverley May Gallaher Dale, age 92, of Laguna Hills, California, peacefully passed away on March 13, 2024, to join her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Born on January 17, 1932, in Bakersfield, California, Beverley was the cherished daughter of James Gallaher, Sr., and Thelma Marie Squires.

After graduating from Sinton High School in Sinton, Texas, Beverley pursued her passion for nursing, attending school in Phoenix, Arizona, where she became a registered nurse. In 1953, she met the love of her life, Bobby Don Dale, while he was serving in the United States Marine Corps. Their love story began with a chance encounter on a blind date, and they were married three months later in Escondido, California. This led to a lifetime of love, devotion, and three beautiful children. They were married 54 years, until Bobby passed away in 2008.

Beverley is survived by her loving children: Karen Dale Hawkins (spouse, Jack Hawkins, deceased), Jeffrey Scott Dale and spouse, Dr. Bertica Rubio, and Nancy Bess Rench and spouse, Dr. Dale Rench. She leaves behind a cherished legacy of 16 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, three beloved brothers, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Known for her infectious happiness, positivity, and boundless kindness, Beverley was a beacon of light to all who knew her. Her unwavering faith in Jesus was evident in her every action and interaction, as she dedicated over 65 years to spreading the Good News through her service as a Sunday School teacher and active involvement in Bible Study Fellowship, WMU, GA's, and Christian Women's Club.

Outside of her church community, Beverley selflessly volunteered her time at the Senior Center in Laguna Hills, drawing upon her nursing skills to care for others. Despite her numerous accomplishments, she found her greatest pride and joy in her family, always considering her children and grandchildren her greatest blessings.

Beverley's radiant spirit, unwavering faith, and profound impact on those around her will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy of love, compassion, and devotion will continue to inspire generations to come.
