Freddie Marie Dalton

Freddie Marie (Sweeney) Dalton, 89, of Salem, passed away on Thursday, November 21, 2019 at her residence. She was born on April 13, 1930 in Floyd, Va. to the late Fred D. and Susie Vest Sweeney. Freddie was a strong Christian and an active member of the Living Well Church of the Nazarene in Salem, Va. Her favorite times were serving God in her church and being with her family. She would often state how her greatest blessings came from the fact that her three girls and sons-in-law were all Christians, serving God. While we may be grieving for our loss, we rejoice in the fact she is reunited with her husband as well as her Lord. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband of 70 years, William T. (Bill) Dalton.
