Dale Allen Meier
Dale Allen Meier, 76, of Greenville, passed away on October 13, 2017 at
State of the Heart Hospice Care Unit in Greenville.
Dale was born on December 2, 1940 in Greenville, to the late Harry and
Ruth (Blizzard) Meier.
In addition to his parents, Dale was preceded in death by his wife of
36 years, Karen (Mills) Meier whom he married October 29, 1977; and his
brother, Verlin Meier.
Dale was a farmer for 53 years. He never missed a day at the Great
Darke County Fair and would make several rounds every day around the
fair to see who he would run in to and talk with. Dale loved to go to
estate and farm auctions or “sales” as he would call them. He would bid
of the items no one else would wanted and come home with truckloads of
“stuff I may use someday”. He was active in 4-H helping Karen with
whatever he could for the Silver Hoofs 4-H Club and continued his
support after she passed away in 2014. Dale would spend his time
“piddlin” around the farm. He was a strong man, faithful husband,
loving Dad and enjoyed spending time with his grandkids. He has left
many memories and a legacy of hard work and family. He will be missed
by all who knew him.
Dale is survived by his children and their spouses, Beth and Ramey
Israel of Greenville, Mary and Patrick Neill of Union City, Ohio, and
Scot Meier of Greenville; three grandchildren, Tyrel and Ethan Israel
and Hunter Meier; a niece, Amy (John) Schnoreberger of Toledo, Ohio; a
nephew, Craig (Beth) Meier of Finley, Ohio; a sister-in-law, Sue Meier
of Celina, Ohio; and countless cousins.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at 10:30AM, Wednesday,
October 17, 2017 at Oliver Floyd Funeral Home in Greenville. Burial
will follow in Greenville Union Cemetery.
Family and friends may visit on Tuesday from 4:00PM to 7:00PM at the
funeral Home.
Memorial contributions may be given to State of the Heart Hospice, 1350
N. Broadway Street, Greenville, Ohio 45331.
