Dale F. Carson
GEORGIA: Dale F. Carson died late Monday, January 22, 2024, peacefully at home surrounded by family after many years of declining health. His love for his family is what kept him going.

In his younger years, Dale was active in the Georgia Volunteer Fire Department, Georgia School Board, and trustee of Georgia United Methodist Church.

He is survived by his wife Gerry Lee Carson of 55 years; his daughter, Karen Carson of Enosburg, his son Wade (Andrea) Carson of Essex; his sister Diane (Thomas) Gordon of Endicott, NY, and his sister-in-law Ann (James) Rademacher of Pittsford, VT.
