She will be greatly missed by her husband Larry Short, daughter Laura (Tim) McFadyen, mother Martha Hinse, brothers Clarence (Glenda) Hinse, Richard (Monique) Hinse, and sister Paulette (Bill) Melnyk. She also leaves to mourn her loss her beloved dogs Emma, Ava, and Lily, many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly, as well as her extended family and many dear friends. Adele was predeceased by her father Andre Hinse, brother-in-law Mel Nickel, and both her Hinse and Dansereau grandparents. Adele had a great love for all animals, especially dogs and horses. These passions, as well as her friendly and outgoing personality, led her to meet many special people throughout her life and gave her experiences that she cherished. The family wishes to thank all those who supported Adele in her final days, especially her close friend Donna Farley, and all of the staff at the University of Alberta Hospital and Cross Cancer Institute. Special thanks to Dr. Kelly and Dr. Maneshgar from the Justik Medical Clinic. A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 at the Blatchford Field Air Hangar in Fort Edmonton Park, Fox Drive and Fort Edmonton Road.

Dear Family

So sad to hear about Adele passing. She was one of my first freinds. Can remember many sleepovers with lots of laughs and dreaming of horses. May she ride to a better place now.

Larry, Laura & Family - Adele was a treasured friend and colleague through the years. During our visits over coffee, the conversation would inevitably swing toward stories of Larry and Laura. She was such a storyteller. It was apparent that she loved her family very much and was so very proud of you, Laura. I will miss her incredible zest for life, unbeatable sense of style and her wonderful sense of humour. Thinking of you.
