Ida Dale Weinreich

OBITUARY AND LIFE STORY FOR IDA DALE WEINREICH Ida Dale Floyd Weinreich, known to family and friends as Dale, was born on August 27, 1932, in Savannah, Georgia. She was truly a Georgia Peach! She passed away peacefully, with family by her side, on November 15, 2023, in Anaheim, California where she lived with her daughter. Dale spent her early life in Savannah, where she met and married her husband, Dean Weinreich. He was serving in the Air Force at the time and stationed at a nearby base. Mom had just won the title of Miss Commercial High, and her photo was in the local paper. Dean saw it and bet his buddies he could get a date with her – and he did! They were married for 39 years until his death in 1989. Dale loved gardening, knitting, crocheting, and sewing and made many beautiful items for family and friends. Babies have been covered by her quilts and blankets, feet have been kept warm with her slipper socks, and one of her daughters wore a gown Dale made for her, when she competed and won the Miss Downey title. The home she built with Dean on a plot of land they purchased was a testament to her love of flowers and plants and she loved working there. Neighbors from all around came to her home during the fall when the red berry bushes were covered in berries, and they would ask for clippings to decorate with in their homes for the holidays. They knew she would graciously give her permission! Faith was a guiding and defining part of Dale’s life. She accepted Christ as her Savior and bore witness to Him throughout her 91 years. She was a witness through word and deed and touched so many people. She grew up a Southern Baptist and remained in the church her entire life. She worked in Sunday School, Girls’ Auxiliary, the Women’s Missionary Union, sang in the choir, and worked tirelessly to help keep the Lord’s house a place of worship and a place of service for those needing help. Her husband and all four of her children came to know the Lord because of her testimony and life, a gift of immeasurable value! Children were also a huge part of Dale’s life. She taught 2 and 3 year olds in Sunday School for decades and many of them still remember her love and fun and would come visit her as they became adults and had their own children. She raised four children she loved and cared for, and played with nine grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. Every one of them is saddened by her loss, but rejoices knowing the place she has in heaven. Dale is survived by a loving family: Daughters Joan, Janet, and Judy and son Driff; and son-in-laws Don, Robert, and Steve. Grandchildren Christine, Carolyn, and Cheryl; Sarah, Stephanie, and Scott; and Angela, Michelle, and Elizabeth. Great-Grandchildren Bradley, Auburn, and Olivia; Colin and Tyler; Austin, Mackenzie, and Madison. And Kyle and Ryan; Sadie and Chloe; and Jon and Audrey. And Dean, Noah, and Micah; and Kaytlin. And finally great grandchildren she chose to make her own: Angie and Sabrina; and Landen. She provided unfailing love without exception and will be missed!
