59 years ago I met Ada Rau, we were back yard neighbors and both had recently had given birth to our first sons.  We lived there until my son was in Kindergarten when we moved away to Salem area.  About a year later they moved up to the same area. Ada and I were Den Mothers for Cub scouts. We continued the friendships over the years and when I needed to go to work she introduced me to The Prudential.  I worked there for 22 years and we kept in touch. Even after she was moved to Dover.  May she now rest in peace!   Miss you my friend.    Esther

I was 18 year old when I started working for Ada at Prudential.  Much of my work ethic today is because of her. I still remember many of the things I learned from her - you don't take personal calls at work, 1 staple no matter how large the file, and if it is divisible by 9, it is a reversed figure.  If there was something you didn't want to do (death claim's desk), you were probably going to do it.  She did it not to be mean, but to challenge you.  And yes, you would find it rewarding.  I may not have meet everyone in her family, but it was evident that she loved them more than anything.  Ada was a great boss, and even better friend.  She will be missed.
Forever grateful for having known her,

Ada Chapman Rau was a classmate of mine at South High. We were in several classes together. She was an attractive and well liked young lady. Very popular because of her warm personality.  I am sure she was a wonderful wife to Bill and a wonderful mother to her children. She is in heaven and we will all see her in the near future as we too pass the threshold of death. God rest her soul- A life well lived.

  To the Family, I offer my Condolences in the Celebration of Life for Ada Mae Rau.
  My Prayers for Strength & Comfort for Friends & Family.
