Born Aug. 19, 1942 to proud parents, Mr. Virgil “Breeze” Looney and Mrs. Jessie Lee Looney; she later in life became the beautiful wife of Mr. Dale Fries, with whom she shares the same given name. She then moved to Barstow, Calif. to start her new life, where she enjoyed “retirement.” Her new life brought her the experience of a new home, golf, travel, wine-tasting, gardening, and lifelong friends. She loved the heat of the desert and the sun on her face.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Virgil “Breeze” Looney and Jessie Brown; step-father, Bill Brown; two brothers, Chuck and Jay Looney; and one grandchild, Alix Keenan Kent.

To know Dale was to love her. She never met a stranger that she couldn’t make friends with. She was a true hero right to the end...Forever missed; Never forgotten.
