After living in Mexico for a year, Adele moved to Winnipeg in 1962 and married her true love Bob Peterson in 1969. She worked at Westburne for 30 years until her retirement in 2002. After her retirement Adele enjoyed travel and spending quality time with her family and friends. She cherished her special place in Phoenix with Bob, Joan and Jimmy. Adele and Bob were able to see and do many wonderful things on their yearly drive back and forth to Arizona with Joan including stops at their favorite casinos. Adele was many things in life, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, matriarch, catechism teacher, co-worker, gardener, parishioner, friend, confident. Her love of her family built bonds that will last forever. We will never forget the gatherings at Eaglesham, the chili parties at Corona, or the bonfires at Moon River. Adele's first priority was always being there to support her friends and family. Her spiritualism and faith in the church will live on in us all. We will miss this pillar of our family.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Adele, she was a great lady to know and to work for. She was the "mother of her girls" at Westburne, and was missed when she retired. As the mother at work she would help pull off our office pranks on April fools day, and even was pranked herself when her and some of her girls would work late, and she would have to lock up the warehouse. Who knew she could run in high heels. May she rest in peace and watch over her family and friends with Bob again by her side. - Posted by: Wendy Unger (Baerr) (Former employee) on: May 26, 2015
