She met Max in 1955 at the greenhouse where he worked. They married in 1957. She worked at Riverview Nursing Home from 1969 until 1972, but always returned to work in the greenhouse. She loved having family get- togethers and one of her greatest memories was a trip to Hawaii with Max in 1978 and to Germany in 1984 where she met Max’s family for the first time. Adele spent numerous hours crocheting and knitting and was extremely adept at it, even making her own patterns at times.
