In 1948 they bought a home on Isle of Hope, a wonderful place to raise a family & make friends. Adele knew no strangers; she conversed easily with everyone she met. Adele graduated from Commercial High School in 1940. She also took music courses at Armstrong State College.

There she was involved in senior friendship club activities as a volunteer and a participant. She enjoyed line dancing with friends, senior softball, volunteering at Isle of Hope School, and was a Wymberly Garden Club member. Adele was an avid walker and was regularly seen chugging along The Bluff, Wymberly, and the entire island. In recent years she lived with her daughter in Jacksonville, Florida. There she attended the Mandarin Senior Center, and visited her children in California, Michigan, Tampa and Sarasota. Adele is preceded in death by her loving husband Chester Sr., her mother & father Adele & Henry Gernatt (of the famous Gernatt's homemade Ice Cream @ 41st & Montgomery St.), brothers Henry, John, and Paul Gernatt, brother-in-law Harold Yeargin, a daughter Marie, and sons Peter & Frank.

To the Nielubowicz Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you. After all these years I still fondly recall all the fun times when our families would get together in Shenandoah and even at my Mom and Dad's house in New Jersey. Aunt Dell and Uncle Chester always had a special love about them and they are back together again.

Anne Gernatt Kerr

So thankful for Aunt Dell's life and legacy! You all are a beautiful testimony to the love and care that both your mom and your dad freely gave. It was lovely to see Dell age so gracefully. She was such a tough cookie and turned into a real softie. You all brought her such joy and she was so proud of each of you. I pray the Lord gives you laughter as you look back and encouragement as you move forward. God is faithful to provide all that we need. Love you guys, Anne
