She was born in Kerrville to Dale and Lena Comparette on April 1, 1930. The granddaughter of one of the founders of the Kerrville Telephone Co., she grew up visiting her grandparents in the Tivy house.

She married her high-school sweetheart, Robert Reagan, on August 26, 1950, in Kerrville.

As a homemaker, Dalene was an excellent cook and seamstress. Anyone who met Dalene reveled in her beauty as she was always impeccably dressed. Her daughter fondly remembers all the special one-of-a-kind outfits and dresses.

Beyond the petite beauty, Dalene was a woman of many talents and strengths. She always held her own next to her husband, Robert. Whether it be hunting, camping, or sailing, she was always up for adventure, while looking gorgeous doing it. Dalene and Robert enjoyed cruising around the world with friends while making new friends and memories along the way. They were proud Longhorn Alumni and enjoyed attending home games in Austin. Dalene and Robert were devoted parishioners. Throughout the years, amongst her church families, Dalene enjoyed singing in the church choirs.

They spent many trips in Mexico with family and friends John and Brenda Fleckenstein, Emily Bush.

Dalene and Robert helped to establish various scholarship programs for Schreiner College.

Dalene will be greatly missed by her family and friends. However, we find peace and joy knowing she is reunited with Robert, the love of her life.
