Adelaide E. O’Kane, 87, of Willow Street, PA went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, September 9, 2015.
She was born on December 21, 1927 in Newark, New Jersey and was the daughter of the late Philip O’Kane and Margaret (Russell) O’Kane.

Known fondly as Aunt Addie, she was proud of all her nieces and nephews and revelled in their accomplishments and successes.
In her earlier years, she was involved with several children’s ministries and taught Sunday School. She was an animal lover and owned many pets over the years. She also was an avid sports fan and followed the Yankees and N.Y. Giants. She enjoyed cooking and baking and was well known for her blueberry muffins and apple pies. She loved to shop and was always fashionably dressed. Aunt Addie had her own unique flare in everything she did and will be greatly missed.
The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Lancaster General Hospital, Willow Valley Arbor View and Hospice for the compassionate care in her final days.
Funeral Services will be private and at the convenience of the family.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in her name to the Humane League, 2195 Lincoln Hwy East. Lancaster, PA 17602.
