Adele Morelli

I hadn´t been to the office in several months and today when I got dressed, I decided to wear one of my favorite sweaters that I got at BLP, thinking I´d stop by and see Adele today. I was shocked and cried down Wood street as I checked her FB page and learned of her passing. As I sit and have my lunch, I´m finding joy in the enormous ways she´s been celebrated. She was one of a kind and I´ll miss her and her bright light she brought to Pittsburgh and beyond.

I am so very sorry to hear of Adele´s passing. I stopped by BLP many times over the years to shop and to chat with Adele. She was such a bright light and truly loved helping others. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

Adele loved her work, her family and her city. She had such a wonderful sense of style and was always so upbeat. The boutique reflected her personality and I will miss shopping there, but I will also really miss her joyfulness.

Adele served as a volunteer at Highmark Caring Place in Pittsburgh for ten years, from 2002 to 2012. While at the Caring Place, Adele quickly bonded with another volunteer and the two of them became a team as they supported adolescents who had experienced the death of a loved one. In addition, Adele donated an item from her boutique for one of the Caring Place annual fundraisers. After 2012, she and I would sometimes run into each other on the streets of Pittsburgh, or when I visited her...

I´ll always cherish my friend. She was always greeted me with a smile. So very sad to hear of her passing. I will miss her dearly. I will cherish my outfits from her great advise. Joanne

Adele was my tennis partner. We played in Patrick Stan's clinic for the last 4 summers. She was determined to be the best she could be, taking private lessons as well as playing with the group. Our biggest fun was playing one on one with each other. Adele said we were evenly matched which was a great compliment. She LOVED to play. She was ready whenever our schedules permitted. Tennis was a highlight of her summer and I was blessed to share that time with her. Much love to you, Adele. I miss...
