Adele Louise Nelson Robinson died on Wednesday, April 9, 2014, at the Envoy Nursing Home. She was 75 years old, and a life-long resident of Winchester, VA and Opequon and/or Frederick County, VA.

Adele, a sweet unselfish soul, was born on February 19, 1939, to the late Hunter Nelson and Jenitee Robinson Nelson. She spent her early years growing up in Opequon, VA, and received her education at Douglas High School. She worked at National Fruit for nearly 30 years. She also worked at the Winchester Country Club for many years, where her skillful cooking was instrumental to the success of several catered events. One of her favorite pastimes was reading.
