Adele Siegel Obituary

Adele Siever Siegel, loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend found her final peace on September 18, 2020 at the age of 96. She was a founding member of the Jacob Kravits Center and the Palm Beach Country Club alongside her loving husband, Mac Siegel, with whom she always found a ready and elegant dance partner until his passing in 1989. She became the chair of a Palm Beach American Heart Association gala/auction and actively worked to enhance their charitable legacy. Mrs. Siegel enjoyed golf, tennis, bridge, and telling a good, but decidedly rowdy joke. She loved to laugh and share her joys with all. She is recently predeceased by her longtime companion, Sumner Hushing. With her passing, an epoch of old Palm Beach also closes. Private Services will be held in New York City. In lieu of flowers, please send memorial donations in Adele's name to the local office of the American Heart Association. They may also be made online at (www.heart.org).

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I met Adele with her long time companion Sumner Hushing Captain USN (r). They were inseparable and attended many events with friends .
She attended many Navy League Board of Directors meetings and monthly luncheons. Her contributions were always to benefit our Sea Services. She was quite fashionable and loved to golf. After she moved into the long term facility from Ballen Isle she adjusted as much as possible but I was happy to see she enjoyed her daily visits from Sumner.
May her legacy live on eternally.
RIP my friend. Dance with the angels.

MY HEART WAS BROKEN WHEN I READ ABOUT ADELE PASSING IN THE BRIDGE MAGAZINE. ADELE WAS ALWAYS DRESSED TO PERFECTION AND THE RED HAIR ALWAYS IN PLACE-WHEN I FIRST CAME TO FLORIDA WE PLAYED GOLF AGAINST THE OTHER COUNTRY CLUBS AND THEIR WAS ADELE AT BALLENISLE-READY TO DO HER SHARE TO WIN THE CUP FOR BALLENISLE-THEN WE ALL WOULD HAVE LUNCH AND CHAT. LATER ON WE MOVED ON TO BRIDGE-THERE WAS ADELE-ALWAYS AT THE JCC WITH EVERYONE ELSE. OF COURSE ADELE WAS A BIG CONTRIBUTOR TO THE JCC SO HER PARKING SPOT WAS ALWAYS THERE-ADELE WAS UNIQUE-SELF CONFIDENT-IF I COULD COULD ONLY REMEMBER HER FAVORITE JOKE AND THE LITTLE SONG SHE SANG-WHEN WE PLAYED BRIDGE TOGETHER ADELE WOULD BID TO 8 OF SOMETHING IF IT WAS ALLOWED-BUT THIS DAY SHE MUST HAVE HAD SOMETHING ON HER MIND BECAUSE EVERY TIME I BID SHE WOULD PASS-OUT OF ABOUT 1000 TABLES WE CAME IN 40TH-JR CAME OVER AND COULDN'T BELIEVE-NEITHER COULD ANYONE ELSE-BUT NOW WE WERE CELEBRITIES- I SHALL TRULY MISS ADELE-SHE WAS A FIXTURE-ALWAYS SAID HELLO-NO ONE CAN REPLACE HER- I AM GLAD THAT OUR PATHS CROSSED AND THAT I HAD THE PLEASURE TO BE IN HER COMPANY-
