Dale Allen Holly

Dale Allen Holly, 75, of Spencer, Ohio, passed away peacefully Tuesday, November 10, 2026 at The Hospice of Medina County Unit. His days were spent in constant motion. Work and service were his comfort and brought meaning to his life. Dale retired from Ford Motor Company in Brook Park, Ohio and then worked for Lorain County Metro Parks at Findlay State Park doing what he loved; spending hours on a mower enjoying the outdoors, he also worked for Medina County Transit, and never met a stranger. Dale built a lifelong friendship with his Amish friends and community. His greatest joy and many of his deepest relationships revolved around fishing. Intimacy with nature was his prayer of gratitude. Nothing in life was more important to Dale than his family. Survivors include his beloved wife of 52 years, Maribelle; his children, Sean (Denise), Nichole (Michael); grandchildren, Megan (Matt Stephens), Sean Jr., Savannah, Delaney; great grandchildren, Raegan, Grant, Oliver, and Theodore. Additional survivors include his sisters, Brenda and Debbie; brothers, Walter Jr. and David. Dale is also survived by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family. A Celebration of Dale's Life will be at 12 Noon, Saturday, November 21, 2026 where the family will receive friends from 10:30 a.m. until 12 Noon in Buckeye Christian Assembly of God, 3159 Columbia Rd., Medina, Ohio.
