Adeline worked for several years in the business office of The Fashion department store in Lafayette.  After its closing, she worked as an office clerk at the D&R Market until she retired.

Adeline was a member of the Order of Eastern Star and Navy Club Ship #12; and served as the National Commandant of the N.C.U.S.A- Auxiliary 1987-1988.

Her passions were family, baking, card club, and the Cubs.  She was able to attend a Cubs game on her 80^th birthday and was most excited when they won the World Series in 2016.

Adeline would pour over recipes looking for some new dessert or confection.  However, Grandma “Achie’s” specialty was the chocolate chip cookie. There was never a time that the grandchildren weren’t treated to chocolate chip cookies and a Coke when they would visit. So, in a fitting tribute to their grandma, they raised a Coke and a chocolate chip cookie in her honor.

Adeline was preceded in death by sister Eileen Bouchard, sister Evelyn Lee, and brother Byron Parvis.  Memorial Contributions in Adeline’s name may be given to Food Finders Food Bank Inc. 1204 Greenbush Street Lafayette, IN 47904 or at www.food-finders.org.  A private family graveside service will be held.
