Adele MacGregor Obituary
During George's Navy career, the family moved many times and lived in Valley Stream, N.Y., Cleveland, Ohio, Monroe, Miss., and Groton. After George retired from the Navy, they moved to Gales Ferry Village in 1967, and operated an organic farm for 55 years. Honey loved her family, her pets and her birds as well as her painting. For many years, she knit hats for newborn babies at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital.
Honey is survived by two sons, Scott MacGregor (Maura) of Ledyard, and John MacGregor (Roseanne) of Franklin; a daughter, Debra DiMarco, (Jim) of Geneva, Ill.; five grandchildren: Susan, Justin, Lana, Ryan and Rachael; seven great-grandchildren: Bella, George, Kalob, Cearra, Matilda, Emily and Karl; and a great-great-grandchild, Kora.

I loved Honey. We were partners in crime.
We worked at NASAP together and never was short on laughs.
I happened to think of her this morning!!!
And thought I'd check.
The world list a Gem!!!

Scott and Maura,
Sorry to read of your mother's/mother-in-law's passing. I last saw her when I was doing homecare physical therapy and she was recovering from some orthopedic surgery. Your parents were down to earth folks who were a pleasure to know! Sue Anderson
