Dale, Annabelle Glendola (Torgrimson) Age 106, died at Minne-tonka Shores, Spring Park, MN on May 12, 2018. She read her Bible and did the crossword puzzle on a daily basis until a few short weeks ago. Born July 22, 1911 on the family farm in Bergen, North Dakota, she received a degree from Minot State Teacher's College. She began her career in a one-room school in Almont, North Dakota, where she taught grades 1-8 after riding her horse to school. Annabelle fell in love and eloped with Allen Dale in 1932, then held a number of jobs in various Minnesota towns. A resident of Mound, MN for nearly 40 years, she worked at Moulded Products, J. R. Clark, Tonka Toys, Gospel Light Press, the telephone office and the post office. She also volunteered at St. John's Lutheran Church, the Eastern Star, Meals on Wheels, and as a hospice coordinator. Annabelle was a member of Lutheran churches in Mound, MN, Velva, North Dakota and Hopkins, MN. She was a lifetime member of the Order of Eastern Star (Past Worthy Matron) and Velva Senior Citizens. She was preceded in death by husband, Allen, parents John and Anna Frederickson Torgrimson, stepmother Ida Kleppe Torgrimson, brother Morris Torgrimson, grandson Jonathan Dale. She is survived by son John and daughter-in-law Marilyn; son Michael & daughter-in-law Marcia; grandchildren Michael, LuAnn, John, Christopher; great grandchildren Scott, Sydney, Magdalena, Adrian; sisters Melva Sogard, Mavis Anderson; many dear nieces & nephews. She also leaves a host of friends and a loving staff at Minnetonka Shores whom we sincerely thank for their care and support through the past 4 years. Services will be held on Thursday, May 31, 11 a.m., with visitation at 10 a.m., at Trinity Lutheran Church, 2060 County Road 6, Long Lake, MN. Internment will be at Velva Cemetery, Velva, North Dakota, at a date/time to be determined. Annabelle also left behind a treasure chest of memories - stories, poems, malapropisms. Her heart was over-sized and filled with gratitude, love, and an absolute, abiding faith in God and the promise of Easter. The following is from one of her columns in the Oak Valley Lutheran Messenger: "May your thanksgiving truly be an offering by touching someone's life. We may not always see eye to eye, but we can try to see heart to heart. O Lord, warm my heart, soften my rigid walls, bend my pride. May loving be my reason for living." May it be so for all of us.
