Sincere condolences for Adriennes’ family and friends.It was a pleasure knowing such a beautiful, caring lady. Rest easy Adrienne.
We’ve come to know Adrienne at Bell Church and have enjoyed her friendship and help in just the past few years. She had a sweet, gentle soul. She will be greatly missed. Prayers to her family, especially Grace who we also knew from church.
Our deepest sympathy. Your mom touched so many people in a positive way, May the thoughts and prayers of everyone that your mom touched, help you in this difficult time.
Adrienne will be deeply missed, she surely left a “loving gracious giving” example to me, of how we should live, as I’ve gotten to know her in these last couple yrs of her life. Heaven gained another Angel. She spoke many times how much she loved her dear husband, shared many stories, it it comforting to know she is with him now. She left a lasting impression on me, so thankful I got the chance to know her.
So very sorry for your loss Barbie! Miss and love you!

I’m at a loss learning of Adrienne’s passing….
She was such a great teacher.
I always enjoyed working with her on the Middle School Panther Pride Memory Book art work and cover…each year….I gave her lots of grief…which she took in stride…
And all the girls made me smile in art class.
And the pool games in the basement with Ray….
