Growing up, she enjoyed reading, going to the movies and loved playing music, dancing and laughing. She was a very social, outgoing and loving person. In 1952 she met Michael and they were married in 1953. She devoted her life to caring for her husband and their three children. Adeline was a selfless person, always generous and put the needs of family ahead of her own. She loved getting together with family and friends and hosted many holiday gatherings. She will always be remembered for her kindness and generosity. Adeline loved going to their cabin and enjoyed many weekends with her husband and Linda's family. She also had a great love of animals and was a supporter of many animal organizations and charities. She loved her dog Smokey and most recently, her cat Whiskey, whom she rescued from their cabin.
