I always looked forward to that connection with her as we share the same birthday. I’m truly going to miss her. She was a woman of strength for sure. God bless you all as you mourn.

    Aunt Addie was a special person. I have such fond memories of her, particularly when I was young of her patiently trying to teach me to knit as a child and spending time at her cabin with Nan and Pop.

    Thinking of Eldon, Darren, Dean and their families now. Hopefully you can find comfort knowing that she is with Dana now.

    Eldon, Darrin & Brenda, Dean & Roxanne and family. Sincere condolences to you all and the rest of the family. I always loved going to see Aunt Addie when I came down to the Rock. She was one of a kind, heart of gold. Have found memories of her always knitting/crocheting in her chair when I would arrive. I learned how to play TV bingo with her and Dana years ago and Aunt Addie taught me how to make baked pudding for Sunday dinner. She will be missed by so many. Aunt Addie was a gift from God, always put a smile on everyone she met. Hugs to you all.
