Columbia, South Carolina – During the early morning hours of the 21st of March 2021, Dale J. Krueger of Columbia passed away in his home. He was the son of the late Donald and Helen Krueger of Carlsville, Wisconsin. Dale was born in Door County, Wisconsin, on July 12, 1939. He always preferred to simply remark that he was “born and raised on a small dairy farm in Door County.”
Known as an outstanding athlete in High School, he attended Carroll College in Wisconsin on an athletic scholarship. At Carroll, he earned a degree in mathematics and later earned a master’s in mathematics from the University of South Carolina. He also pursued additional graduate work at the Universities of Wisconsin and Maine.
Locally, he is remembered as an outstanding teacher and mentor by his former students and fellow teachers at Irmo High School where he taught math, oversaw the Math Club, and taught A.P. Calculus. A few individuals might even remember him teaching select courses at Columbia College after his retirement. He was the State winner in the 1984 and 1985 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching program.
He was a long-time member of Rockbridge Club where he absolutely loved all his “Tennis Friends” and the social network that surrounded the game. Golf was his other sport of choice and he played multiple rounds each week and was a “Ranger” at Oak Hills Golf Course for many years. Until recently, it was not uncommon for him to play golf in the morning and “Super-senior Tennis” that same night.
He and his wife were long time members of the Saraband Dinner Dance Club where they were often the first to arrive and the last to depart. He loved his friends.
He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Rebecca; sons Jon and Karson; sister Donna Van Duyse; brothers Dean and David.
He was blessed with a loving family, true friends and an unshakable belief in his Church and Country.

Stella Adler once said, ��Ƶ�Life beats down and crushes the soul. Art reminds you that you have one.��Ƶ�

Beginning as a child on stage and in television commercials at age two, Deborah Ann Bloodworth embodied dramatic roles with undeniable charisma and showcased her talents as a comedienne with beguiling ease, keen timing, and a remarkable talent for improvisation.
A Furman University graduate, she turned in memorable performances at Pushpush, The Essential, and Barking Dog Theaters in Atlanta, among others.

Her beauty and great promise were offset by a long and unfortunate struggle with addiction that was devastating her and those who loved her, and from which she has been released. Her caring heart compelled her to give aid to others even when she could not accept such aid herself.

She passed away during the first week of February. She is survived by her mother Deborah, her father Robert and his wife Shannon, sister Susan and brother Robin and his wife Kelly, her aunt Patty Langston as well as friends and colleagues in Hartsville and Florence SC, Atlanta GA, and Washington D.C.

Details regarding memorial services in Hartsville and Atlanta are forthcoming.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made in her name to HumaneSociety.org, WildAid.org, or a local theater company.

Brown-Pennington-Atkins Funeral Directors are caring for the family.
