What an angel! She always had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye. She gave so much of herself with visits, favors and just offering encouragement. We need more people like her with spunk, faith and encouragement. I have known her since I was a little girl and will truly miss her. Prayers and hugs to you all.
Sorry to hear of Ada’s passing, she was a great lady she would come to see the horses all the time and bring them treats, we would talk a lot about where things were at in the world today,
She was a blessing to our family and must have been sent by God as shortly after her and Gilbert got married he had a massive stroke and she was there for the 8yrs until he passed … Thank You Ada for all you did and all you were..
