<div itemprop="description"><br /><br />DAHL, Frances Anita<br /><br /><br /><br />The family of Frances Dahl are sad to announce that after a life of almost 100 years, Frances passed away at Extendicare Michener Center, Red Deer, on Thursday, March 24, 2016. Frances was born on April 20, 1916 at Vera, SK, to Claude and Jennie Phillips, the middle child of a family of seven. She attended Normal School in Saskatoon. Teaching jobs were rare as it was the time of the depression of the 1930s but Frances found a job teaching at Trafford Park school, and one year later, was invited to teach at Hilldale School. This was where she met Harold Dahl. Harold and Frances were married in July 1939. They took over a country store at Court Saskatchewan and this is where the family of two girls and three boys grew up. They later had moved to Red Deer, then back to Court, then to Major Sask., finally retiring in Red Deer in 1974. Frances is survived by sons; Duane (Beryl), Ralph (Donna), and Ray (Delores), daughters; Linda (Tom) Dixon, and Darlene Dickson, seven grandchildren and their spouses, eighteen great-grandchildren, seven great-great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Harold, her parents, sisters; Lois and Ruth, brothers; Leon, Wayne, Howard, and Archie, all her brothers and sisters-in-law, son-in-law, Dennis Dickson, grandsons; Rob Dixon, Bradley and Barry Dickson. An interment will be held at Alto Reste Cemetery, HWY 11 East, Red Deer County, on Thursday, March 31, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. A Memorial Service will be held at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, 18 Selkirk Blvd., Red Deer, on Thursday, March 31, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. The family would like to thank the staff at Extendicare Units 2600 and 3400 for the excellent care of Frances during her last years. In lieu of flowers, donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated. <br /><br /></div>
