Please accept my deep sympathies for the loss of dear Aunt Ada. I have beautiful memories of visiting the farm near Chatham Ont and Aunt Ada made sure that I (and my cousin Mark) were always well scrubbed before she served one of her scrumptious home-cooked country dinners! I will miss her beautiful smile and her tender and gentle manner. The Bruce Russell children are nearly all united in their new heavenly home where I know we will meet again. With Love, Kevin Russell and family.

Even though I have not seen anyone from the Lenover family for years my memories of you mom, can be gathered in my mind so easily. I knew Mrs. Lenover as someone who was a fixture during recess at Kerns School, and who tried hard to ensure that I didn't get into too much trouble. I dare say she was not successful many times. She was kind, very kind. I have thought of her many times before this sad day, it's amazing how some very nice people who have crossed your path can do that. My sincerest condolences, to the entire Lenover and Russell families.

There will be many of Aunt Ada's nieces and nephews who have special memories of time spent at the Lenover home in Chatham and New Liskeard. I count it a privilege to among those so blessed and will miss her very much. I am picturing her now being embarrassed and denying all the kind comments. Condolences to you all.

Mark and Sharon, Uncle Del.
Some of my happiest childhood memories originated from visits to your farm in Blenheim ( Chatham?).
Aunt Ada was such a fabulous cook and hostess. I can see the twinkle in her eye and her chuckle since she tended to express herself often without saying anything aloud. She was always full of love and patience and set a great roll model as a mother of adolescents and young children.
It’s also possible that I may have been influenced by her CLEANLY habits- rinsing the dishes thoroughly before placing them in the dishwasher lol. Nothing wrong with that!
She also had great taste and was a beautiful lady.
Thank you Aunt Ada for such wonderful memories.
Best wishes to all, love to Uncle Del whom I also cherish.

I feel like I didn’t know dear Aunt Ada as well as I would have liked, but brief visits here and there, as well as childhood memories, put her in a very special place in my heart. She always showed attentive interest in others and had the greatest funny bone! A true 1 Corinthians 13 lady. Our family will miss her. Praying for you all.

My sincere sympathies to all the Lenover family in the loss of Aunt Ada. I have so many fond memories of visiting the farm in Blenheim during the summers when I was a child. I am one of many cousins, I am sure, who feel very blessed to have had Aunt Ada in our lives. I will always remember her as kind, patient, gentle and a wonderful cook. Although I have not seen her in a long time, Aunt Ada as well as Uncle Del and my Lenover cousins hold a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss.

Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of Ada. As a student at Kerns Public School, I remember her telling me to behave during lunch a time or two. She was a very kind lady. My thoughts are with you.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Ada at the NorthDale Manor. She was so sweet and always smiling. My heart goes out to you all.

So sorry for your loss. Your mother had a long life and she will be remembered for the caring and selfless things she did for many people. All of us Kerns kids knew to look for her in her long tan coat in the playground for safety or a smile and kind word. She definitely had “a thing” for cleanliness, not only did we enjoy watching her chase Lisa around the school yard with a hankie or brush making sure she was neat and tidy, whenever I went for sleepovers she always broke out the bubbles and made sure I had a soak in the tub before bed. The few times I have seen her over the years, she seemed immensely proud of her growing family and so content. May your many memories make this time less difficult. xx Marianne and Wade
