Dale E. Jennings, 69, of Clifford Township, PA, passed away in the loving arms of God on Monday, April 13, 2026.

Born February 10, 1957 in Carbondale, PA, he was the son of the late Martin and Wilda Price Jennings.

Dale had been employed for over 20 years at Hendrick Manufacturing in Carbondale, and had also been a volunteer and employee at the former Carbondale General Hospital. Dale was extremely active in the local community as a member of the Clifford Township Volunteer Fire Company where he was also its past chaplain. He will be warmly remembered as the engineer of the train ride at the fire company's annual picnic. Seeing the smiles on all the children who rode the train brought Dale so much joy. He was also a member of the Greenfield Township Lions Club.

Dale was a man of deep religious faith and was a lifetime member of the Clifford United Methodist Church where he was a lay leader. Dale's belief in the Lord, Jesus Christ allowed him to persevere through many difficulties in his life.

Dale loved his dog, P.J. who brought him much comfort over the years. He was a man of simple pleasures who enjoyed attending stock car races, car shows, mowing lawns and watching westerns. Dale had a vast collection of hats that he always wore. He will be fondly remembered by his family and friends as a kind and gentle soul who never let an opportunity pass where he could visit or help others. He will be forever remembered as a great husband, loving brother and devoted uncle who leaves behind many fond memories of Uncle Dale.

He is survived by loving wife of nearly 28 years, Debbie Camp Jennings; four siblings: Wayne Jennings of Binghamton, NY, Yvonne Magistro and husband, Dino of Forest City, PA, Doreen Mancuso and husband, James of Dundaff, PA. and Holly Jo Widzon and husband, Brian of Greenfield Township, PA; several nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
