Dale Graham Shelley, a retired physical education teacher and aquatics director at the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital in Baltimore, died on February 26,2009, at Ogeechee Area Hospice after a brief illness. Mrs. Shelley was 80.
The former B. Dale Graham was born in Savannah, Ga., on April 16, 1928. She attended The Massie School, Savannah Junior High School and Saint Vincent's Academy. She graduated from Savannah High School in 1946. The following year, she married Henry Armin Jaeger, Jr. in Savannah, and moved to Baltimore. That marriage later ended in divorce.
After many years as a homemaker in North Baltimore, she trained as a physical education teacher in the Maryland school system. She taught during the 1960's at Baltimore's Southern High School, where she met her second husband, Dr. Warren W. Shelley, a music teacher there. They were married in 1967 and moved to Towson, Md.
She left Southern High School in the mid-1960's to work as a recreational center director for the Baltimore Bureau of Recreation, overseeing pool operations at parks citywide. In the late 1960's, she took a position as aquatics director of the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital, where she worked until 1971.
She moved from Towson to Westminster Md. in 1974, when Dr. Shelley became director of music education for Carroll County schools, and they retired to Georgia in 1983. Dr. Shelley died in 2002.
Throughout her life, Mrs. Shelley was an active volunteer – a pursuit she took up as a young girl, living across the street from the Savannah Chapter of the American Red Cross, then located at E. Jones and Abercorn Streets.
An avid water safety volunteer she accumulated an extraordinary record with the American Red Cross Safety Program. Over the years, she received numerous honors by the American Red Cross, and was inducted in the organization's Hall of Fame in 1965. By that time, she already had taught and certified more than 3,175 individuals in swimming.
The visitation will be held on Tuesday from 1:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. at Joiner-Anderson Funeral Home.
