Adele Morea

Adele Morea,

Brought into the world during the 30's when there was the great depression, and the rise of World War II. Born into a German household in New York. A natural socialite, dancing through time, and finding connection while the world moved around you. Youth went fast, you fell in love at a furniture store, and grew into your own family while keeping ties to your Mother at home. While things kept moving, so did you. One kid, led to two, which brought three. You picked out your outfits, sold beauty products, found comfort in your surroundings, and watched as time aged people. You survived, found strength, and protected your existence. A woman who went about it alone, couldn't do it alone, managing to find stories, places to go in neighboring states, and connections. You were humbled by life. It gave you what you needed, not what you wanted, and you taught others through experience, perspective, emotion. Your courage to exist was strong. You believed in God and knew that life gives and it takes. You were real, and opinionated. With that came devotion and generosity. Those closest to you knew you were loyal. You kept your circle small but united. Always believing undoubtedly in your family while expressing caution to those outside. You were cool and funny. With an irregular sense of humor but an unforgettable laugh. You had beauty, style, and a looseness that allowed for independence of a woman that was not found yet. You checked yourself when needed and held firm boundaries. You had years of experience that one could wish to learn in a day. You brought it all, and took what you could to see the next day. You were inspiring and full of life as you were quiet. You were Adele. There was no one like you and there wont be because 95 years can only be lived and not learned. You are to be remembered and never forgotten. Your voice was strong, and remains heard. You were one of a kind. You were here the longest because that was your gift. You were given what no one could buy, the best gift of all.
