Adele lived most of her life on the family farm in Prairie Grove, Manitoba where Mom and Dad worked very hard as a team to operate their dairy and grain farm. She took great pride in her home, flower gardens and yard. She was known as being a great cook by family and friends. The doors were always open to receive company for a visit with coffee, her famous homemade raisin bread and coffee cake. She really enjoyed spending time at their cottage at Royal Lake, Ontario, whenever there was an opportunity to get away from the farm with Dad or other family members. In June 2001, she took residence at Kin Place Care Home in Oakbank, Manitoba where she was very happy and well taken care by the staff until her passing. The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to all the staff at Kin Place for their compassion and loving care given to Mom.
