ALGENE P. DALTON, born Algene Perry in Memphis, TN on February 24, 1932, succumbed to a long fight with breast cancer on the 27 of March at a nursing home in Miami.
Her son, Casey Kehoe, his wife, Qihuan Zeng, and an extended family of friends, clients, and co-workers survive her.
She was born and raised in Memphis. her parents, Alfred and Eugenia J. Perry, were the owners of a successful beauty salon across the street from the famed Peabody Hotel.
She briefly attended the University of Tennessee then returned home to work in local government eventually becoming the pole tax collector.
At the age of 24, she married her first husband, a dashing "war hero", Thomas Kehoe, also from Memphis and moved to Miami Beach in 1956. In 1957 her only child, Casey Kehoe was born.
Her second marriage was to Terry Dalton, with whom she sailed the Caribbean and lived on a houseboat in 1970's Miami Beach. But it wasn't until 1972 that she met her true calling. That's when the Dade Paper Company had the courage and foresight to hire their first female account executive. She continued to work there for the next 34 years. She built an impressive client list that grew as rapidly as Miami.
She has finally returned "home" to lie beside her beloved parents in the city of her birth, Memphis, TN.
Her remains will be interred at Memorial Park on Poplar Avenue.
