Adele Catherine Rivelli

August 9, 1938 – February 10, 2026

Adele C. Rivelli, 87, of Winter Park, Florida, passed away peacefully at her home on Tuesday, February 10, 2026. A woman defined by her intelligence, self-sufficiency, and unwavering confidence, Adele left an indelible mark on both her professional community and her loving family.

Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, to Howard McIntyre and Wanda Logan, Adele spent her formative years in the Northeast before moving to Florida in 1972. She was a lifelong learner and a driven professional, earning a B.S. in Accounting from UCF and maintaining a real estate broker’s license. Adele found great fulfillment in her career, particularly through her work in the real estate business for Cliff Stein and Reid Berman. To Adele, family and work were the twin pillars of a life well-lived.

While she was a force in the business world, Adele was most at home as the family matriarch. She found her greatest happiness in the “simple things,” especially Sunday afternoons spent poolside with her daughters and grandchildren. Known for her constant smile and positive outlook, she also enjoyed vibrant social traditions, including Thursday night Bingo at the Elks Lodge and the occasional visit to the Casino slots.

Adele was predeceased by her parents and her sisters, Maureen Tauro, Marilyn Padgett and Colleen Cafiero.

Her legacy of strength and positivity lives on through:

• Her Sister: Denise Peragine

• Her Daughters: Laurie Daugherty, Cheryl Partlow and JoAnne White (along with son-in law Bob White).

• Her Granddaughters: Desiree Partlow, Amanda Partlow and Caitlin Gibiser.

• Her Great-Grandson: Hudson Gibiser.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, February 22, 2026 at Baldwin-Fairchild Oviedo Funeral Home.

• Service: 12:00PM - 1:00PM

• Reception: 1:00PM - 3:00PM

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Adele’s memory to Pet Rescue by Judy.
