Addie was a farmer’s wife, a loving mother and a great cook. You could always count on her to be honest. She worked hard and was happiest shelling peas or canning green beans. Many still the remember the exceptional Snow
Village display that adorned her living room window each Christmas for over a decade.
The children would like to gratefully acknowledge Dr. James Kane and Linda Doyle for excellent care they provided their mother for over 40 years.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I have so many fond childhood memories of time spent at your house. I remember our parents playing cards and all the shared meals. Ms. Addie was the best cook! Praying that you will all find comfort in your memories and the knowledge that we will see our parents again some day.
Our thoughts and prayers continue for Mrs. Petrus’s family. May God’s Word and His Holy Spirit (the “Comforter”) provide strength, comfort, and assurance.
To the family of Mrs. Petrus, I am so sorry to read of her death. You will be in my thoughts as you try to adjust your daily lives without her.
