Dale L. Province
June 9, 1935 –
Dale L. Province, born June 9, 1935, went to heaven on the wings of Angels on March 29, 2022.
He was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. After graduating Ellet High School, where he played football, won “All City” and was later inducted into the Ellet High School “Hall of Fame,” he went to college on a football scholarship. Then he joined the Army. His career was in Law Enforcement with the Akron, Ohio, Police Department, and he loved his job. He retired in 1988 from the department but took on security jobs until he moved permanently to Sun City Center, Fla., in 2000, where he enjoyed the many activities. He loved RVing and traveled from the East Coast to West Coast. When the RVing stopped, he did security in Florida and worked at Freedom Plaza for 10 years.
He was an amazing man, full of love and laughter. He was a member of the DeSoto Masonic Lodge in Riverview and the Sun City Center Shrine Club/Egypt Shrine. He never knew a stranger and was friends with everyone he met. He loved playing poker at the club and swimming in the pools, and he enjoyed the police breakfasts with other retired members of law enforcement.
He is survived by his wife, Trudy Province, of 37 years; three children, Scott Province, Terri Chapman and Tonda Morgan; two step-children, Cindy Arnold/Donnie Barta and Russell Cederburg; 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
A “Celebration of Life” will be held on May 14 at 1 p.m. in the Banquet Room at the North Kings Point Clubhouse. Coffee/tea, sandwiches, cookies will be served.
No Flowers please. Donations can be made in his name to Akron Police Department Akron Police Widow and Children fund: 217 High St., Akron, Ohio 44308.
