After moving to the area in the early 1990s, Dr. Dave and Dr. Adele were among the first people I had the pleasure of meeting on the tennis courts. Adele’s warmth and gracious spirit always stood out. After I met my wife through tennis the summer of 2002, Adele and Dave continued to show their generosity and kindness to both Jules and me.

Our deepest sympathies are with the family.

My heartfelt condolences to Dave and all the Axon Ashley family. Adele and I met on a tennis court and continued our friendship off court. She was always thoughtful, open, honest and elegant. I miss the light she shared.

Adele was a sweet childhood friend from Tower Hill. Adele was an intent listener, who truly cared about others. Her thoughtful, gentle ways will be what I remember about her. I send my love to Dave and their three girls at this sad time.

My sincere condolences to Adele’s families. She was in one of the first classes to graduate after I arrived at Tower Hill. She is one of the people I remember well from that era; a terrific person.

My condolences to Adele's family. I first met Adele on a tennis court.We went on to play on teams together and became good friends off the court. I'll miss her intellect, she knew a lot, her directness and her special chuckle. Gone too soon but she'll not be forgotten. Farewell Adele, special lady.
