She was at peace when she and Danny talked, and he said he would be okay when she was gone. When she talked about being in the Army, she would have a glow on her face. She will never be forgotten.

Dale Shaffer
....show
, 62, died Sunday, February 6, 2005, in Barton after a long struggle with peritoneal cancer. A woman of firm faith, Dale is at peace. Besides her husband, Roger, she leaves her children: Sam and his wife, Lu, Laurel and Heather Kilbourn and their father, Larry, and Jesse Allen and his father, Tom; Roger's children Erik and Wendy Shaffer; and several grandchildren. Dale Phinney was born in Manhattan on October 1, 1942. She studied design at Pratt Institute, and after moving to Connecticut, embarked on a variety of careers among which were teaching computer skills and acting as a doctor's assistant at Yale University. Her lifelong interest in all aspects of the theater led her to the Long Wharf Theater in New Haven, Connecticut, where she not only designed and made costumes but trained as a clown and was soon leading improvisation workshops in area schools. When she and her husband moved from Branford, Connecticut, to Barton in July 1999, they opened Rogersdale B&B and took a look at their new community to see how they could contribute. The rundown beauty of the Barton Memorial Building caught their eyes, and its neglected theater was clearly the right project for their backgrounds. They soon established the BMB R&R (Barton Memorial Building Restoration and Revitalization) committee, and efforts during the last five years have led to many improvements which will continue until the restoration is complete. Mrs. Shaffer was a woman of many talents and boundless energy and enthusiasm, which she gave unstintingly to her adopted home. A strong leader, she was able to make tough decisions when necessary. She spent long hours writing grant proposals to help raise funds for the BMB R&R. As president of the Barton Library Club and Board of Trustees she led through a difficult transition period. She and Roger volunteered regularly at Barton senior meals, and she was instrumental in the revival of the Moonlight Madness holiday fairs. Although her many volunteer activities and her newly acquired enthusiasm for quilting took up much of her time, she found a perfect fit when she took on the job of assistant to the director at the Vermont Leadership Center (now the NorthWoods Stewardship Center). Her colleagues at work praised her as the face and voice people first met when they contacted the center. But she was never afraid to let her silly side show. Last summer, even though her health had begun to fail, she had great fun helping with a fund-raising dinner theater making original props, advising on costuming and makeup, and even stepping in at the last minute to take tickets in the role of a gum-chomping New York restaurant hostess. She was concerned that other women learn from her illness to ask their doctors about early detection and prevention of ovarian cancers. Those wishing to make contributions in her memory are encouraged to donate to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, attention: Dr. Thomas J. Rutherford, Yale University School of Medicine, Department OB/GYN, P.O. Box 208063, New Haven, Connecticut 06520. A memorial service will be held at the Barton United Church on Thursday, February 17 at 7 p.m.
