It is with profound sadness, that the family of Dale Marie Metoyer Gurney announce her peaceful passing on Thursday, February 11, 2021 after a long battle with cancer.
The daughter of Leo and Nathalie Metoyer, Dale was born on October 25, 1954 along with her identical twin Gail. She married James Gurney on September 27, 1980 at St. Philomena Church in Chicago.
She will be dearly missed by her husband of forty years, Jim; children: Jaimie (Brian) Valentini, Katie Gurney, Michael Gurney, James (Dan) Gurney, and Sean (Victoria) Gurney; grandchildren: Jackson, Audrey, and Juliana Valentini, Gemma and Tristin Gurney; her father Leo; Siblings: Gail (Emery) Jones, Leo Metoyer, Patrick (Carmen) Metoyer, Joseph Metoyer, Terrence (Migdalia) Metoyer, and Pamela (Jorge) Cabrera; in-laws: Edward, Craig, Robert Gurney, and Katherine Sirois; as well as numerous nephews and nieces. She will also be fondly remembered by all her many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. She was predeceased by her loving mother Nathalie.
Dale gave birth to three children but was a mother to many. She volunteered her time and energies to countless causes from school party mom to community social director to emergency contact for dozens of the community’s students. Her home was opened to all and she will leave a heartfelt legacy as MaMa G.

"From making me BooBoo Bunny’s when I was little to Marvin Gaye mornings after a sleepover, MaMa G made every visit to the Gurney household a memorable one! She loved me like her own and even treated my kids like one of GiGi’s grandkids. We will all miss her in our own special way but the light that she had here on earth will forever shine on us all from Heaven! I can hear her voice vividly saying HEY AMY ADORNO and that chuckle when I would come downstairs for breakfast as she danced throughout the house making your dad his coffee!
