Ada spent her life doing for others and she was quite talented in many areas.
She loved baking cookies for her family and for her church. She enjoyed cooking up some good old-fashioned meals like chicken and noodles, Sunday pot roast, crispy fried chicken and her tunnel of fudge bunt cake were a few of her families' favorites.
Ada was a talented seamstress, creating dozens of wedding gowns, bridal party and flower girls' dresses for many couples' special day. She spent many hours at her sewing machine and on the floor cutting patterns. Ada handmade many dresses and outfits for herself, her children and grandchildren through the years. She enjoyed quilting and gifted many beautiful hand-stitched quilts to her family. Ada was still very active well into her golden years and was very much into fitness, flower gardening and lawn care.
