She was born June 28th , 1939. She will be remembered by her many accomplishments. Adela worked at AAFES, Army and Air Force Exchange Service, for 20 years as a warehouse worker. She held very high standards for her work ethics and was very proud to be able to retire in 2001.
She was a member of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, which she participated in Divine Mercy and in organizing many other events. Adela was a Devout Catholic and enjoyed attending Mass and Fellowship.
No one who met, Adela, forgot her infectious smile and love for life. She was soft spoken and you could always expect to be gifted something she would crochet. Her favorite color was pink and she enjoyed watching her Spanish Novelas, playing softball, riding bikes, dancing and socializing with friends and family.
In June 27, 1956, she Married Santiago O'Brien. They had 3 children, James O'Brien, Grace O'Brien and Melissa O'Brien Cortez. She loved spending time with all her children. Then came her Grandchildren, Amanda O'Brien, Larry McClure Jr., Clayton O'Brien, Luis Aguilar, Jessica McClure, and Joseph McClure, and 2 Great Grandchildren, Dominic McClure and Lilliana McClure, where she was over the top filled with love for each and every one of them.
She will be missed by all, including her Sister Isabell Donnell and many nieces and nephews.
Family would like to thank the staff at Seasons Memory Care in San Antonio for the care bestowed upon their Mother along with Family and Friends who have showed their love and support during this difficult time.
