Dale Harris Bodwell, 73 NORTH BERWICK

Dale Harris Bodwell of Windy Hill in North Berwick, has left the kitchen. After a brief battle with cancer, Dale passed away November 8, 2022, surrounded by loved ones.

Born April 11, 1949, in Biddeford, the second son of Verne Bodwell and Alberta (Snow) Bodwell, Dale grew up along the shores of Kennebunk Beach and Cape Porpoise Harbor, which instilled a lifelong love of the water. Dale graduated from Kennebunk High School and went on to attend the University of Maine in Orono. After settling in North Berwick in the 1970s, Dale met Debra (Gray) Bodwell, and the couple married in May of 1980.

Easygoing and curious, Dale made friends in every room he walked into - a trait that served him well during his long career in sales. Fiercely loving and supportive of his family, he possessed a bottomless well of calm and patience. His wisdom ran deep but always contained kindness and humor.

When friends and family gathered at his home, Dale could be found in the kitchen, preparing a feast on his treasured Wolf range. It is impossible to overstate the pleasure he took in cooking for others; Dale loved to feed those he loved, and many lucky people had some of the most memorable meals of their lives on Windy Hill.

–

Dale was predeceased by his parents. He is survived by his best friend and wife of 42 years, Debra; his sons, Adam and Joshua and his partner, Tammy; his granddaughters, Alyssia and Elona; his brother, Woody; his nephew, Chip and his wife, Maggie; and more members of the Gray family than can be counted, all of whom loved him like he was their own blood.

Visiting hours will be held Saturday, November 19 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., followed by a memorial service at 12 p.m. A reception at Bethel Christian Church, 129 Lower Main Street, North Berwick, will follow the service. Burial services will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Elliott G. Gray Family Scholarship, c/o Susan Austin, PO Box 819, North Berwick, ME 03906.

Arrangements entrusted to the Johnson Funeral Home, North Berwick. Condolences may be expressed and full obituary viewed at www.johnsonfuneralhomeme.com.

We are often asked by the families we serve, here at JS Pelkey & Son and Bernier Funeral Homes, why certain expressions and traditions exist in the funeral service industry. One of the most often asked questions is “Why send flowers to a memorial service or funeral, aren’t they just a waste of money?” Well nothing could be further from the truth.

Family Owned and Operated Funeral

03906-0475

As my friend Todd Van Beck recently wrote in an article: Flowers are sent to funerals for several reasons. Flowers are a means of expression. It is often difficult for those mourning a death to put feelings into words. Flowers are a visual expression of love, sympathy, and respect. They are a way of lending support and sharing the burden of grief. In addition to sending flowers to the funeral, there is a growing trend to send flowers to the home of the bereaved after the service. Some people also send flowers to the church in memory of the deceased.

Flowers create a background of warmth and beauty which adds to the dignity and consolation of the service. Those who have attended services where there were no flowers have noted that something was missing – that the funeral was depressing. The funeral meets the bereaved’s need for support. Death throws people into despair and depression by separating them from one who has provided love, companionship, and security. The funeral and customs provide the means by which those close to them can give their support and share their suffering.

The funeral period provides for the expression of sorrow. Only through talking about the past can the bereaved person realize the extent of the relationship with the deceased, and accept the loss and suffering. Only through weeping and talking to good listeners can they release their grief and feelings of guilt and hostility. Experts in grief therapy believe that it can be expressed best through rites, rituals, and ceremonies. The ceremony deals primarily with intellectual concepts and doesn’t fully engage the bereaved’s feelings in the patterns of community support which are psychologically beneficial. Flowers, however, express the inexpressible – they are symbolic.

There are three points to be stressed, finally, in connection with the tradition of funeral flowers. First, the role of flowers are both symbolic and aesthetic. They add great value to the richness and meaning of the ritual. Second, flowers represent sympathy extended to the bereaved. Third, flowers are sent to both the living and the dead. They are sent to the living as comfort and as tokens of respect for the deceased.

We, at the JS Pelkey & Son and the Bernier Funeral Homes, hold the value of the work our local florists do in very high regard. We always encourage the families we serve to contact a local florist directly. Certainly there are national floral outlets that can be reached with a simple Google search but, honestly, the quality of these products are often substandard. Simply click the “Send Flowers” tab on our website and you will be directed to our list of trusted florists. Please call us about any questions with which we may help.
