So Sorry to hear of Adeline's passing. Ewald was my fathers uncle. I have great memories Adeline & Ewald's summer vists to our farm in North Dakota. We always had summer picnics that included all relatives when they visited. I did get to visit their home in Sun City with my parents. Adeline was such a wonderful delightful woman.

I'm so sorry to hear of Adeline's passing. She was a wonderful, gracious lady. I always enjoyed visiting with her. Her and Ewald visited us in Alaska and we had some fun fish stories to share. I will miss not seeing her when I go back to Arizona. My sympathy to you.
Her niece, Ruth Johnson

Ewald was my Grandma's cousin and I enjoyed every time we saw him and Adeline. We got to visit Adeline about 12 years ago when I drove my mom and dad out to California. She was always so gracious and welcoming. She'll be missed!

Avery nice lady. She and Ewald visited us at our home in Minnesota when I was a kid and I visited them as a young adult in Arizona, but only had the opportunity once. I always enjoyed their company. What a great age she lived to, and I am sure she enjoyed every year of it. Now 77 I hope I live as long.
