About Adeline Marie: Adeline was a loving and generous soul, and a fierce defender of those whom she perceived to be shunned, criticized or rejected by others. She herself often felt that way; unfortunately, that prevented her from seeing how much people admired her and loved her for being a wonderful wife, sister, mother and grandmother, and aunt. We could always count on her saying 'yes' to any request for help of any kind, but she never felt that she did enough. more... less...

Adeline Marie's Memories

Mom watched our youngest daughter from 3 months to 6 years of age while we both worked 12 hour days. She taught our daughter how to walk, talk, learn the alphabet, and play games. Our daughter especially loved playing school with grandma, but grandma had to be one the kids, usually the kid that wouldn't listen and had to be reprimanded. Mom enjoyed 'acting out' and those memories will forever be with our family.
