She worked hard and tirelessly, had boundless energy and always put her family first. She will be remembered for her kindness, courage, generous nature and quiet strength. Mother was devoted to her granddaughters and their special bonds gave her the strength and courage to live each day. Adelle's memorial service will be held at a later date.

Mother In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away, you suffered much in silence, you fought so hard to stay. You faced your task with courage, but still you kept on fighting, until the very end. God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around you And whispered, "Come to Me". So when we saw you sleeping So peaceful, free from pain, we could not wish you back To suffer that again. Mother, your love and devotion to your family will never be forgotten. We will always love you.
