Date of Birth: May 14, 1948 Date of Death: July 27, 2025
Our Family and Community lost a very precious member. Dale Figtree, 77 of Santa Barbara, passed away peacefully in her home on July 27th. Born on May 14th, 1948 in Philadelphia.
She is survived and cherished by two loving sisters, Ann Cherner and Robin Jones as well as her multitude of cousins, nieces and nephews.
An independent traveler in her 20’s she lived in Greece, Mallorca, London, New York and Florida. While living in New York City, Dale was diagnosed with an inoperable cancerous growth in her chest cavity at 27 years old. Her treatment included intensive radiotherapy that partially shrunk the tumor but left her with a damaged vocal cord and one lung with massive scar tissue.
At this point she was introduced to an extraordinary Doctor known for his work with patients who experienced healing mostly through radical food protocols along with ongoing traditional treatments.
Dale’s extraordinary healing journey is in her book, ‘Health After Cancer’. When she relocated to Laguna Beach a few years later, her complete focus was clear. Dale completed her PH’D in nutrition and her practice was launched to share what she personally experienced.
In the early 90’s when Dale joined her sister in Santa Barbara, she found her ‘Forever Home, growing Health Practice, Dance and Spirit Family’.
Dale Figtree (PH.D), was a much-needed guide for the health and healing of our community and beyond. Her devoted nutritional practice made a difference to all who reached out. She was also known for her fine accomplishments in painting and sculpture (graduate of Philadelphia of Art, 1969) and her dancing, gifts and inspiration she also brought to the community and all who knew her. She will always be loved and cherished by the countless lives she touched.

Dale treasured the following words from an Independent article.
“I believe wholeheartedly that life, our individual existence is a miracle. That I, or you, or anyone has received the privilege of our personal identity to spend whatever years we have on this spectacular planet that is our home is practically beyond belief.”
