Connie Lee (Tschosik) Dale, 56, of rural Winger, MN, died on Monday, January 19, 2015, at her residence. She was born on May 24, 1958, to Leo and Pauline (Horner) Kuntz in Linton, ND—10th of 12 children. Connie attended the Linton School until her senior year, when she moved to Wahpeton, ND.

On October 18, 1975, Connie was united in marriage to Alan Tschosik in Wahpeton. Their son, Doug, was born on March 12, 1976, in Breckenridge, MN, and their daughter, Rosalynn, was born on January 27, 1979, in Mandan, ND. Connie decided to obtain her GED and work toward a college degree at NDSCS in Wahpeton. She graduated as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. They moved to Fertile, MN, in September of 1988, where Connie began working at the Fertile-Beltrami School District as a COTA.

On August 15, 1992, Connie was united in marriage to Jeff Dale of rural Winger, MN, in Medora, ND. Together they settled at their home, west of Winger, until her passing.

Connie's degree in OTA was a perfect match with her passion in life—assisting others to improve their lives. Helping the young or old become more independent brought Connie a lot of joy. As a friend to many, Connie will be remembered for her generous heart, kind smile, and infectious laugh. Since Connie was a child, she and her family enjoyed riding, training and competing with their horses. Being outdoors was refreshing, especially sitting on her porch looking over the lake. Travelling to the mountains and camping was a great memory. Connie's grandchildren meant the world to her.

Connie is survived by her husband, Jeff, rural Winger, MN; one son, Doug (Stephanie) Tschosik, Fertile, MN; and one daughter, Rosalynn (Carl) Berg, Park Rapids, MN; 5 grandchildren: Jacob, Braeden, Amelia, Aliyah, and baby girl Berg; 10 brothers and sisters: Patty McCarthy, Anoka, MN; Leo Kuntz, Linton, ND; Edward Kuntz, Linton, ND; Frank (Shelly) Kuntz, Linton, ND; David (Kay) Kuntz, Hankinson, ND; Wendelin "Wendy" (DeeDee), Kuntz, Bismarck, ND; Karleen (Charles) Weigel, Napoleon, ND; Felicia (Tom) Rocholl, Fergus Falls, MN; Joseph Kuntz, Wilton, ND and Jerry Kuntz, Linton, ND; several nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by her parents, one brother, Robert Kuntz, 2012, and one brother-in-law, Bomac McCarthy, 1987.

Services are planned for a later date.
