1937-2020
UPPER REXTON, NB – It is with great sadness we
announce the sudden passing of Dale Everett Dickinson, 82, of Upper
Rexton, on Thursday, October 1, 2020 after a brief illness at the
Moncton Hospital. Born in Rexton, he was the son of the late Dorrance
Wynn and Lorna Emily (Everett) Dickinson
Dale worked at CN Express, Via Rail, Vautour’s
Trucking, manager at the Irving Convenience Store in Rexton and
delivered cars for Hannay’s. He contributed to the community
as a lifetime member of the Humphrey Lewisville Sunnybrae Lions Club,
member of the Independent order of Foresters (IOF), past president of
the board of Rexton Seniors Rentals, member of the board of directors
of the Bonar Law Museum, member of the Small Town Players committee,
and member of the board of the Richibucto Port Authority. He delivered
for Meals on Wheels, was the caretaker of St. Andrews United Cemetery,
and made over 100 blood donations.
Dale was predeceased by his wife, Joan Marilyn
(née MacMichael), also of Rexton. Dale and Joan loved
sharing their home in Upper Rexton with family and friends. Many good
times were enjoyed in the old cottage and the new house, sitting on
the beach, the porch or in the sugar shack. Dale was a great
neighbour, always generous with his time and willing to lend a hand.
He enjoyed sailing, snowmobiling and was always ready for new
adventure, especially if it involved long drives and good food. His
home was always open to furry companions big and small, the latest
being Maggie and Carter.
Dale is mourned by his son, Michael (Solange) of Edmonton,
AB; three daughters, Donna Chauvin (the late Joseph) of Fredericton,
Margaret Ellen “Peggy” Mayo of Rexton and Leslie Theriault
(Randy) of Moncton; his nine grandchildren, Rodney, Cory (Leanne),
Trista, Nicholas, Anthony, Brandon (Katelyn), Meaghan, Bradley and
Justin; and his three great grandchildren, Wyatt, Lila and Charlie
Grace.
He will also be sadly missed by his brother, John Dickinson
(Beth) of Amherst Point, NS, and many nieces and nephews. Dale was
predeceased by his sister Sandra Leblanc.
