Dale Deterding Obituary

Dale V. Deterding

Sheboygan - Dale V. Deterding, age 62, of Sheboygan, died on Friday, January 11, 2019 at the Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice. He was born in Waterloo, Iowa on August 29, 1956 to the late Victor and Florence (Drape) Deterding.

Dale graduated from Marshall High School in 1974. He then attended UW-Madison and earned a bachelor's degree in History in 1981 and a master's degree in Educational Policy in 1983. On May 30, 1981 he married Julie Popp in Caledonia, WI.

As a licensed social worker, Dale worked at Sheboygan County Health & Human Services for 18 years, supervising Adult Protective Services, Caregiving, Senior Nutrition, Elder Benefits, Senior Transportation, and Long-Term Care programs. He previously worked at The Management Group (TMG) in Madison, and as a social worker in Jefferson and Dane Counties.

Dale's calling in life was to ensure that people of all abilities were treated with dignity and able to live as independently as possible, on their own terms.

Dale was known and appreciated for his eclectic taste in music, passion for all things British, quick wit and irreverent sense of humor.

Survivors include his wife, Julie, of Sheboygan; twin daughters, Rachel Deterding, of Madison, Victoria Deterding, of Sheboygan; brothers and sisters, Dean (Susan) Deterding, of Georgia, Luella (Kort) Guild, Dan (Amy) Deterding and Lisa Deterding, all of Iowa; his step-mother, Edith (Les) Lindermann, of Iowa; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Mark (fiancée Jayne Nelson) Popp, of Minnesota, Kurt (Mary) Popp, of Lodi, Brian (Sharon) Popp, of Caledonia, Mary Popp, of Arizona, Anne (Gene) Lewis and Sara Davis, both of Virginia and his father-in-law, Richard (Beverly) Popp, of Illinois. He is further survived by dear friends, Rick and Belinda Blasing, and Chuck and Joanie Hagberg, and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Dale was preceded in death by his mother and father, an infant brother, James and his mother-in-law, Kathleen Popp.

A visitation will be held for Dale on Saturday, January 19, 2019 at Generations in Plymouth, 1500 Douglas Dr., Plymouth, from 11:00 a.m. until the time of service at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, all donations will be distributed to meaningful causes in Dale's life.

The Deterding family would like to express deep gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center, Froedtert Hospital, and Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice, for their expertise and care for Dale's health and well-being. The family especially thanks Dr. Bryan Schmitt and Dr. Nicholas Draeger.

Dale was a true advocate for all in need. He lived with compassion, heart and a great smile. His dedication to the elderly and disabled wasn't just a job, it was who he was bone deep and he always led by example. Dale was a gift to all he touched and will be remembered for the many ways he enhanced and enriched the lives of those in need in the communities that he served. On behalf of our Azura Memory Care family and all of our residents, their loved ones and our team who you have helped, we will miss you and send our deepest condolences to your family. May the wings of greatness you wore on earth, lift you high in heaven too.

Julie, Victoria, Rachel and of course my thoughts to Dale
Prayers, comfort and peace to each of you. Dale was one dedicated supervisor that I worked side by side with for 14 years. Dale and I meet before his Sheboygan County career through TMG, I would have all case files prepared for him when he came to Sheboygan to complete his audits. We together had passion in helping the elderly and disabled of Sheboygan County. He lived to work and worked to live with kindness, caring and love. He taught me to work hard and gave me the opportunity to use my creative skills in many ways in my career with Sheboygan County. He will be remember for allowing his family to help with my family caring for my children and parents. Comfort and peace to you Dale you did well. Thank you for your friendship and most of all being a great co-worker and supervisor. You will be missed.
Blessing, Jill
