SIDNEY: Lillian "Lynn" Lenore Adley, née Bigelow, fluttered off for good in the midmorning of what was an otherwise pleasant, sunny, spring-like Tuesday, on March 18, 2025, attended by her loving children and family. She had turned 75 not long prior (she was born on another fine March day: the 9th, in 1950), and, having happily meandered her way up and over that milestone, she decided it was time to look elsewhere for the flowers and colors and sparkly things she so thoroughly and tirelessly enjoyed.
She leaves behind her three lovely children, and three more even lovelier grandchildren-and the siblings! So, so very many siblings, and siblings' spouses and partners-and the children! So very, *very* many children. And she is preceded in her journey by a dear sibling, by her two beloved and prolific parents, and by her husband, who may have cherished her exuberant, earnest, happy idiosyncrasy most of all-and who we know will be so happy to have her back. A great, bearded bearhug awaits you, Mom, when you finally flit your way over.
Father: Philip Bigelow; Mother: Cora "Boots" Bigelow, née Wright; Husband: Mendel Adley; Daughters: Julie Adley, Amy Adley; Son: Scott Adley; Grandsons: Connor Evans, Winter Adley; Granddaughter: Luna Adley; Sister: Julie Wade; Brothers: Philip Bigelow, Dallas Bigelow, Jerry Bigelow, John "Mack" Bigelow, Larry Bigelow (decd.), Steve Bigelow.
