Mrs. Dale Elisse Albright, 79, died Monday, December 19th of bladder cancer.
Dale was born March 28, 1943 in Long Beach, California, the daughter of Don Ed Vorhies and Cordelia Gwen Rutherford.
She graduated from Robert A. Millikan High School in Long Beach, CA in 1961, where she excelled in music.

She graciously ministered to congregations as an organist, Sunday school teacher, women's leader, and children's director. Her donation of hand-sewn blankets and pillows to young, single mothers continued until her final days.
