DALE McADARAGH

Due to current health concerns, private services for Dale McAdaragh, 84, of Wagner were held on Saturday at Peters Funeral Home in Wagner. Interment was in St. Peter’s Catholic Cemetery in Platte.

Dale Joseph McAdaragh was born October 15, 1935 in Huron, to Harry and Inez (Coleman) McAdaragh. On Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at the age of 84, he passed away at the Community Memorial Hospital in Wagner.

Dale went to high school in DeSmet. He attended Stewart’s School of Hairstyling. He married Geralene (Jeri) King on April 7, 1958 in Platte. They opened his first shop in Sioux Falls called Lady Lavender. He later moved to Chamberlain where he continued his hairstyling business. Together they had five children. The family eventually moved to Parker where Dale managed a grocery store. Dale’s last and final move was to Wagner where he invested in and managed Wagner Food Center. He retired in 1998.

Dale was a multitalented man. He was a gifted meat cutter, hair stylist, carpenter and business manager. He was a perfectionist and strived to do his best at whatever he did. He was genuine and true to his word. Dale loved to golf with his friends and family. Health issues halted the golf games but he stayed hopeful for the chance to play again.

Grateful for having shared his life are his wife of 61 years, Jeri of Wagner; five children: Debbie (Barry) Swanson of Chamberlain, Terry (Michelle) McAdaragh of South Hadley, MA, Rhonda (Troy) Stanley of Bagley, IA, Scott McAdaragh of Wagner, Jeff McAdaragh (special friend Heidi) of Tripp; 11 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.

Dale was preceded in death by his parents, a brother Lester and three sisters: Maxine Fischer, Dorothy Smith and LornaJean Johnson.
