My most vivid memory of Ada is from My childhood. I was probably 10 years old at the time, and Halloween was approaching. I wanted to dress as The Mummy, so my parents took me to Ada's home, and she patiently wrapped me up in in rags, trying to measure me for My costume. Eventually, I would change My mind, and dress up as a local spook named Shock Armstrong, but I never forgot the effort she extended to My family and I all those years ago. Later in life, I remember her always being there for special occasions...my graduation, my wedding, my children's birthdays, etc. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Thank you for gathering and sharing all the beautiful images in the memorial tribute. Ada was blessed with much love in her lifetime, and it was wonderful to see all the beautiful pictures of her journey here on earth. May she rest now, in everlasting peace, with God and her loved ones who preceded her in eternal life.
