Adele married her late husband Wayne “Bruce” Triplett in 1967. They spent 43 years together here on earth. Adele forever his 57 years this past January.

Adele and Bruce had 3 children. Brian Triplett, and wife Jodi Triplett, Stephanie Smith and husband Alex Perdew, Bobby Triplett and late wife Crystal Triplett.

All of which blessed her with 7 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

Angela Rhoney and son Jacob Rhoney, Lacey Propst and son Noah, Carissa and son Dakota, daughter Jayda and Trinity, Destiny Ward and daughter Maybelle, Catlin Triplett, and Tyler Triplett.

Adele loved nothing more than spending time with family. Eating at different restaurants (even if she always ordered the same thing) and frequenting Donna’s in Hudson for chicken and dumplings, and cream horns.

Shopping at Goodwill and Belk always made her happiest, but a good Yard Sale was the best. Adele loved going to all of her grandkids sporting events and would cheer them on.

Whether you knew her as mother, momma dale, granny, or gig, as soon as you said hello, she would welcome you with open arms, and the feeling of unconditional love.

Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come.

For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.

Isaiah 57:1-2 NLT
