A remarkable, exceptional woman, Adene was
such a source of unconditional love, strength, kindness, intelligence, and wisdom. She showered her family and friends with
love, always.

and oil painting. She was the

She was a big fan of the Prince George
Cougar’s and Kamloops Blazer’s for many years.
The family wishes to thank the doctors, Dr.
Malan, Dr. Montgomery, Dr. Rollheiser, and the staff at the RIH. Many thanks to the personnel at the Marjorie
Willoughby Snowden Hospice for their excellent care and support. Thanks also to
the staff and residents at the Chartwell Ridgepoint and many friends for their
