Adeline was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She absolutely treasured her close-knit family and took her greatest pleasure from large family gatherings and outings. Her other joys were from friends and community.
She was a long-standing member of the Clymont community, at the Road Haven Resort in Arizona, and most recently at their home at Pine Lake. She also built many friendships through her love of golfing and camping with the Good Sam club. She was often affectionately known as the ‘Enforcer’ to anyone who played golf or cards with her, for her strict adherence to the rules of the game.
Intelligent and determined, Adeline returned to school after having her family, to obtain her Bachelor of Education in 1978. She was a dedicated and very popular teacher of Honours’ math and drama at O’Leary Catholic High School in Edmonton throughout the 80’s and 90’s.
A celebration of Adeline’s life will be held in the spring. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Adeline Marie Irvin January 25th 2022..
