It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Dale Schooley,
formerly of Spencer Iowa, who passed away in Elkhorn Nebraska.
Born in 1927 at Wakonda South Dakota he arrived in Spencer
working for Montgomery Wards and then selling life insurance.
Dale had a great love of the outdoors, horses, and farm life.
He enjoyed hard work and it showed in all the improvements
that were constantly going on with his farm at Gillett Grove.
He was a big part of the mystique as the “Big Bad Wolf”
giving hundreds of children memories at ‘Tom Thumb School’
and ‘Grandpa’s Barn’ which he ran with his wife Eleanor.
His expertise as a Master Gardner was shared at his recent
location of Quartzite Arizona. As a Sacred Heart church leader
and Scout Master he made a difference in hundreds of lives.
He was predeceased by his wife Eleanor and is survived by his children,
Marilyn Hansen, Jo DeMars, Pat Schooley (Lynn), James Schooley,
Connie Dunwoody (Mark) and Mike Schooley (Colleen); and his sister Evelyn Canoy.
He is survived by 17 grandchildren; 32 great-grandchildren;
many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Memorial Mass, Saturday Aug. 21, 10:30 at Margaret Mary in Omaha.
