Adeline L. Kline Frient

Ravenna, Ohio --

There is no easy way to announce the death of Adeline L. Frient. Although she was in many ways a private person, she lovingly touched many lives throughout her more than ninety-three years of living.

Adeline was born on February 24, 1918 in Suffield, Ohio to Lawrence A. Kline and Emma C. (Horning) Kline.

Following years of housework, babysitting, and factory work, Adeline married Joseph P. Frient on May 20, 1950. She worked even harder after her marriage.

Joseph and Adeline lovingly parented their sons, Kenny, Paul, Ron, and Larry. She worked tirelessly as a skilled and creative domestic engineer (homemaker) well into her nineties until her health sharply declined recently, leading to the completion of this life when God called Adeline to her everlasting home while she was being cared for at Emeritus of Ravenna on Friday afternoon, May 6, 2011.

Adeline dearly missed her husband Joseph since the Lord called Joe to his everlasting home on October 24, 1999. She also missed her sisters Frances (Art Schrader), Alice (Harold Manion), step-brother Paul Stewart (Lillian), daughter-in-law Diana Frient, and so many other relatives and friends who have believed that Christ will enable them to rise again.

In addition to her sons, Adeline will be dearly missed by her daughters-in-law Kathy and Michelle; grandchildren Justin (Ann-Marie), Jason, Jessica, Jeremy, Nathan, Lisa, Alan, and Wesley; great-grandchildren Daniel and Kenny; beloved nephews, nieces, and their families; and everyone dear to her who truly enjoyed her amazing energy, very sharp mind, genuine goodness, hilarious humor, entertaining stories, sweet charm, and radiant smile.

Calling hours will be on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 from 9:30 AM until 10:30 AM at the Wood-Kortright-Borkoski Funeral Home, 703 East Main Street, in Ravenna.

Adeline’s son Father Larry Frient will preside and preach at her Mass of Christian Burial at Immaculate Conception Church, 409 West Main Street, Ravenna, the same morning (Wednesday, May 11, 2011) at 11:00 AM. She will be buried beside Joe the love of her life at Grandview Memorial Park in Ravenna Township.

In lieu of flowers, please donate in Adeline’s name to Robinson Visiting Nurse and Hospice, 6847 North Chestnut Street, Ravenna, Ohio 44266. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.wood-kortright-borkoski.com.

Jesus Christ died and rose to new life; for people of faith, life is changed, not ended. When the body of our earthly dwelling lies in death, we gain an everlasting dwelling place in heaven. Therefore, it is understandable to grieve Adeline’s departure and wise to know that grief is not without hope.
