Aunt Ad lived at home to help Grandma and Grandpa until they passed away in 1973. She kept the home fires burning so all could meet at 421 College Avenue whenever they would come to town. She is predeceased by her parents John and Mary Gross in 1973 and also by six brothers and five sisters over the years, and to date is survived by one sister, Edith, of Kingston, Ontario.
