Aunt Ada was a strong, family oriented, and happy person. My Mom loved her sister and I am sorry the two have passed, as well all of their siblings. I have good memories of the very large get-togethers at Grandma Rumsey's. Aunt Ada will be missed. I think of my Mom every day and I am sure you will think of your Mother too, with good thoughts and happy memories.
With love,

Ada was a beautiful, sweet lady. My "other mother" and a great friend to my Mom. So many memories of the farm in Manchester and then we became neighbors on Ebenezer Road. So thankful that she was a part of my life.
Sending my deepest sympathies and heartfelt hugs to Sharen, Cindy, Bill and Jerry.
