Dale K. Filipas
May 27, 1949 - May 16, 2020, Resident of Moraga

Dale Kathleen Filipas passed away on May 16, after a brave eight-month-long battle with Lymphoma. She was born and raised in San Francisco to Lily and David Wong. She graduated from University of California, Berkeley in 1971 and married the love of her life Richard J. Filipas in 1972.
Dale was a tireless and dedicated teacher for 35 years. She taught at Mission High School for 10 years and taught preschool for the remainder of her career so she could also be with her four children. Dale and Richard had a collaborative and caring relationship based on mutual support and a deep love for each other. She was highly involved in her children's lives and Dale had the ability to manage and balance her time between all of her children. Dale's energy was boundless, and in her retirement she helped care for all nine of her grandchildren.
Dale was talented and knowledgeable in so many things - sewing, knitting, and crafts. Her true passion was cooking and was always trying new recipes as well as mastering the recipes of her late mother-in-law. Her kitchen was the heart of her home and the setting for most family gatherings and Sunday dinners. Her welcoming and warm personality made these gatherings for friends and family special and will be missed by all. Dale loved watching a good baseball game and was an avid SF Giants fan.
Dale is survived by her loving husband, Richard, and her devoted children Kim Thompson (Ryan), Stefanie Sosnowski (Piotr), Robert Filipas (Aimee) and Joanne Verrips (Justin), grandchildren Jack, Olivia, Isabella, Alexa, Emma, Liliana, Alessandra, Emilia, Otto and sister Christine Lee (James). In lieu of flowers, donations to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society are appreciated.
