Adolya was born on August 13, 1931. Being born and raised in the Promise Land, she loved living there and appreciated everything that area stood for. Growing up in the close-knit community, she became family to anyone she met and welcomed all, especially all the children who she loved dearly. Adolya certainly never met a stranger and she always made people feel at home. Her selfless way of life meant that she joyfully gave to anyone in need. Every fall she’d sell pumpkins, she loved the harvest season. Adolya loved the outdoors, fishing, cooking, arts, and crafts.
