I met Adele when I was a child. She was one of the few people who said hello to our family when we came to Fayetteville and attended St. Joseph's Church. I will always remember her smile and laugh. She raised a wonderful family- I had the privilege of working with Jeannie and Becky. She was a joy in our parish and will be missed. God Bless you all.
We send condolences to Adele’s large family. I remember her mostly at church and school. Looked forward to shopping Sears for clothes just to see her and admired her for taking that job. She was an example to follow. - Carolyn and Dick O’Connell
My thoughts are with the O'Connell family. Even though we have not see each other in a long time I always thought your family special. The last time I saw Mrs. O'Connell was at City Hospital.. She was at the front desk. She did not seem to have changedin all the years. Still the sweet smile. Susan Haley Bell
Our family came from Dayton with Standard Register just like your parents. We were trailblazers back then when companies were setting up satellite offices and plants in other parts of the country. This was back in the "dark ages" when families stayed pretty close to where they always lived. But then came the interstate system of roads and America really "spread her wings" & started driving everywhere besides our locale & companies wanted to move to accommodate these families.
I was in the 5th grade when we moved here and I have always remembered when daddy told me I had to learn how to spell Fayetteville. After I mastered that I had to learn how to spell Arkansas!! Nowadays kids won't understand that as you can be anywhere in the world thru the internet or tv documentaries. Besides that all my grandkids have passports and have lived in other countries.
My dad and mom were Bud & Mary Cotterman. You may remember them. Daddy died when Standard got unionized and the employees one time went on strike. Daddy's heart could not stand the stress. Mom lived on to age 94.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you . The Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
