Adele was a beautiful, warm, loving soul. She was a great cook and fun to be with. She laughed at all of my silly jokes. She loved everyone and new no strangers. Anyone who met her immediately loved her. One time she answered the phone and even though it was a wrong number, Adele taked to the person for about a half hour. I bet the two even had a laugh or two. After my sister died, Adele raised Linda with all the love and caring she had in her heart. Linda, you were so fortunate to have her come into your life to help your Dad raise you. She was a loving aunt to Molly and Beth. i will love her and will miss her. Uncle Andy
So many beautiful memories of a very special lady. I can still hear her say “Hi Lynn” with a giggle. I have a feeling she ALWAYS knew Linda and I were up to no good when we were together ❤️. Heaven just gained a beautiful Angel
Dear Linda and Family,
So very sorry to hear of your sweet momma’s passing. May all your fond memories bring you comfort and peace
Adele was a blessed and beautiful soul. She was kind and gentle and loving to everyone. She was a great cook. I miss her dinners. She and I always shared a laugh. We were both easily entertained and found lots to laugh about. She was a remarkable woman. I loved her very much and always will
RIP, dear Adele.
🙏
Adele was the one of the sweetest and kindest women I’ve ever known. She loved our Gatlin so much. She will be missed. 💜💜

So sorry for your loss Linda!
Im going to miss you forever.
Love you Gda 💜.
Its hard to put into words what our grandmother meant to us, but im going to try my best. Grandma was the sweetest, kindness woman ive ever known. The love and support we had from her was unmatched. Her laughter was contagious and her hugs were filled with comfort. I think i can speak for my mother, my siblings, my children and our significant others when I say we never once doubted the love she had for us all. “I love you” and ” Im so proud of you” were commonly said not just in phone calls but with every visit. Even our closest friends felt like a part of the family with how much she cared for them. I will miss our visits and seeing her standing in the doorway as I drive off for one last wave goodbye before heading home. Maybe once in my 34 years she ever raised her voice at me and quite frankly i deserved it. When my mother needed help with us kids, she was there. After school, on the weekends, helping with homework, watching our tv shows with us, we could always count on her. She was there for Matts football games, my cheerleading events, Marys confirmation and Gatlins choir, just cheering us on from the crowd as often as she could. I will miss our trips to powder valley with her and grandpa, trips to the zoo, the movies or even just having her Saturday morning pancakes while grandpa was helping us build our blanket forts. I will miss her stories. No matter how many times shed tell us the story of her first meeting mom, how she was the cutest little girl shed ever seen, holding her Archibald doll. id give anything to hear her tell it one more time. Or the time she didnt listen to our parents and tried walking our dog Toby, and he ended up dragging her thru the yard. No matter how accident prone she was she was always tough. Our lives shined brighter with her in them. And we will all miss her terribly. Even tho she wouldnt want us to be sad, instead want us to be happy that shes finally back with grandpa after all these years. Its hard not to feel a void without her in our lives.
Dear Linda and family,
Dell was a wonderful, kind person, and a great cook. She always had a contagious smile on her face so I would find myself smiling and listening to her tell a story that would make me laugh or sometimes cry. She could find something positive about anyone she spoke about. I remember the delicious dinners she made. I have so many fond memories of her. My husband (Bob) and I will miss Dell, but we will always remember Dell and John in our hearts.
