It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dale Ann (Goforth) Ackerman. She died on June 4th, 2015 peacefully in her home following a long illness which she battled with grace and courage. In her life and in her death, her biggest concern was always for the well being and happiness of those around her. Dale will be missed most for the kindness and generosity that she shared with everyone who was lucky enough to have known her. Born July13th, 1961, she spent most of her childhood in Durham, and her happily married life in Higganum. She leaves behind her other half, Steve Ackerman, whose sentences she could finish and who tended to her every wish with devotion and love. Her sister, Tamara (Goforth) Bober, is mourning the loss of her confidante, travel companion, and best friend. Dale also leaves behind many friends, in-laws, cousins, nieces and nephews who will be missing her terribly. While she regretted not having children of her own, she was instrumental in the successful rearing of many. Perhaps this is because she could relate to them on their level and she always saw only the best in each and every child. She was able to convey to them the most important values in life, which she demonstrated daily: kindness, generosity, tolerance, common sense and finding joy in simple things. She lovingly raised two families of children as their nanny and was the favorite aunt to her nieces and nephews.
