I grew up living next door to Dewey and Winnie. They always had an open door for me and my family. Dewey and my dad were both big cut ups and they were always up to no good. If you saw them together and they were laughing - watch out! When my dad passed away Dewey and Winnie were right there helping my mom in any way she needed. They were always there when you needed them.

And, then Dewey married JoAnn. He was so blessed to be married to two wonderful women. JoAnn is my mom's best friend and she's like an aunt to me - we love her dearly.

RIP Dewey Hale. You and daddy try to behave up there.

Love you,

Donna (Darks) Lamberth

My Dad and Mom met Dewey and Winnie when Edgefield Lodge visited Palace Lodge in Windsor Ontario Canada. It was the late 1970's and the start of a deep, lifelong friendship that became our Nashville family.
In 1982, Winnie and Dewey (my Ma and Pa) opened their home to me while I completed my Music Therapy training. The love and generosity they showed was something I knew I would never forget or could ever repay. Since that time I tried to return that love and visit my Nashville home as much as possible.
It broke my heart when Ma passed away and now my heart is breaking again as I say goodbye to Pa. My love and prayers for Joann at this sad time.
Rest in peace, Pa. You will live on in my heart with love and a lifetime of wonderful memories. Until we meet again.

Dewey was known to the Rainbow Girls of Nashville #4 as Daddy Dewey. His wife, Winnie, was our Mother Advisor and we called her Mama Winnie. They were a beautiful, caring, fun couple. They did, however, keep us in line! We girls were so blessed to have them in our lives. Since they had no children of their own, we were "their girls". The trips, the ceremonies, the service will always be wonderful memories for me. I honestly can still hear them laughing at some of our antics! When Mama Winnie passed, it was so sad, but later he found Joann with whom he shared the rest of his life. Prayers for the family, especially for his wife, Joann. R.I.P. Daddy Dewey.

My parents rented an apartment from Dewey on south 11th Street back in 1984. When I was born, Dewey and Winnie became my "Granny and Pappy". They spoiled me rotten to say the least. They bought me my first car seat, toys, and a host of other things. I remember sitting on Pappy's lap in his chair and getting treats and dollars when I would visit. When I brought MY children to visit, he would do the same for them☺️ I still have ceramic snow babies that Granny made me. I put them on my Christmas tree every year. It was so heartbreaking when Granny passed away too. I sat at her bedside and watched my wedding video with her since she was too sick to go. I loved them dearly. I live so far away now that I have not visited much, but I will never forget them. Joanne you are in my prayers❤️

One of my favorite memories of Uncle Dewey involved my Big Jim. As many of you know, at times it seemed these two lived to mess with each other. Uncle Dewey has just purchased as brand new white Chevy pickup, which he had all the emblems removed from the dealership before he would drive it off their lot...but that’s another story, and we were just leaving Lowe’s in Madison. As we were turning left on the highly congested roadway, Uncle Dewey asked Big Jim if he was good to merge into traffic? I was riding in the middle of these two goofballs and Big Jim remarked without hesitation, “yeah sure, it’s your truck not mine”, as Uncle Dewey proceeded to turn just before glancing over his shoulder and slamming on the brakes! A car narrowly missed us and the colorful language flew around almost as much as the coffee being spilled from both Big Jim and Uncle Dewey’s steaming hot coffee they had just got from Lowe’s. Big Jim laughed so hard he couldn’t talk or breathe (I’m sure some of you know what I’m talking about), and Uncle Dewey was so mad he wouldn’t speak to him for nearly half the day. I think my legs are still recovering from the hot coffee...but that’s a memory I still laugh about to this day.
