My thoughts and prayers to the family and close friends of Adda. I worked with added briefly at MIHS before she accepted her position at AHA but was so impressed with her professionalism and compassion. Over the years I followed her career and our paths would cross. She exemplified all the qualities nursing holds dear...She will be greatly missed but her legacy lives on in the lives she touched and her her family.

Adda was special in so many ways. She was a professional mentor to many. She was amazing in her ability to inspire others. At her celebration of life ceremony I realized she had done the same in her family. What a wonderful gift to have been part of her life. Adda's spirit will live on in the lives she touched.

Adda and I became friends when we worked together at Southwest Washington Medical Center. She was a role model as a health professional and a kind and thoughtful friend. I'll miss her. She will always remain in my heart and in my memory.

I have known Adda for over 20 years. She started as my mentor and boss and evolved into a wonderful friend. She was the big sister God did not give me. When I doubted, she encouraged. When I achieved, she celebrated. She modeled how to be an exceptional professional and demanded life balance. Family was so very important to her and the love that she and Larry shared with each other, Neil, Dean and their growing families was apparent to anyone who knows her. I will miss you dear friend,...

Adda and I met professionally through the Oregon Organization of Nurse Executives, and grew to be friends. I have great respect for Adda, her quick wit, intelligence, creativity, and integrity. I was genuinely surprised that she also felt that way about me. When I was struggling, this buoyed me up. There is so much that one could say. Others have said so much about which I concur. May all of us, family & friends find solace in remembering the times we shared with Adda. I will miss her.
