Dale Eugene Grainger (1944-2025)

With heavy hearts and profound love, we share the passing of Dale Eugene Grainger on March 16, 2025, at the age of 80.

Dale was born on May 23, 1944, in Herbert, SK, to parents Edward and Mabel (Dahl). He grew up on the family homestead outside of Hodgeville, SK, where he spent his childhood with boundless curiosity and a touch of mischief, swimming in the dugout, playing with the dogs, and doing his best to stay out of trouble at school.

In 1980, Dad and his beloved wife, Edith (Gibson), moved to Davidson, where they built a life together, Edith as a dedicated Grade 2 teacher and Dad as the proud owner of Reg-Win Auto, his car dealership. Later in life, they embarked on new adventures, spending 10 years teaching English in China and creating countless memories along the way.

Dad leaves behind a legacy of love carried on by his children Morgan, Jason, Chelsey, and Jillian; daughter-in-law Marie-Angela (Allan); his cherished granddaughters Emma, Willow, Harmony, and Chloe; his sisters, Nancy (Keller) and Maureen; sister-in-law, Mariann (Gibson), and their families, along with many cousins, nieces, nephews, and extended loved ones.

He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Edith (Gibson), his sister Dawn (Oelke), his brother Ted, and his nephew Steven.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible nurses and staff at the Davidson Health Center for their kindness and compassion during our time of need.

A private ceremony will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Davidson Health Trust Fund, cheques payable to the Town of Davidson. Hanson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements.
