We fondly remember Miss Ada as a delightful lady whom we enjoyed being around. We are sorry for your loss but feel sure she is in a better place, possibly boating in a Carver!

I had the privilege of knowing Ada since I moved back to Tidewater in 1974. She was a bright, energetic, and caring person. My sincere condolences to her family; I know her passing will leave a big void in their lives, as it will in the lives of everyone who knew her.
