Condolences for Adrienne Saddington (Albanese)

Janice CarrThursday, January 20th

Words cannot describe the sadness I felt
when I heard that Adrienne passed away.
The entire world was so lucky to have such a sweet, loving, understanding and patient women. I do not know anyone who could say a negative word about our Adrienne. She was everything to everyone.
The absolute patient, loving and dedicated teacher I have ever known.
Adrienne loved her family and especially her gorgeous Paige. Nothing was ever too much to do for her precious queen.
Adrienne I know you are in a better place free of this horrible disease.
My condolences to Bob, Paige, your boyfriend, her parents and friends.
She will be forever in my heart.

Adrienne was fun, funny, warm, generous, kind, and loving. She was a great conversationalist and everyone who knew her, loved her. I nicknamed her "Sophia Loren" back in the 90's because of the movie star sunglasses and wide brimmed hats she always wore on the beach in North Wildwood. The nickname stuck and I'll always remember how she'd laugh out loud whenever I called her Sophia! I have so many wonderful memories of our times together, our conversations, and the moments we shared over the course of 47 years of friendship.

My dear friend, I'll miss you terribly but I'll carry you in my heart forever.

Bob, Paige, and Family I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Keeping you all in my prayers.
Love, Kathy

Adrienne was such a special lady in every sense of the word. Everything she did she did with love. Those fortunate to know her found a true, loyal friend. Adrienne never had a harsh word to say. She was one of the kindest, most compassionate, loving, gentle souls. She was a gift to the children she taught, animals she rescued, friends she collected & family always came first. She was a wonderful storyteller with a quick, dry wit. That is what I will miss most…times around tables. The warmth she brought to her home where all were welcomed with open arms. The passionate way she would tell a story and Bob & Paige would take turns chiming in sharing pertinent details, thoughts, feelings and reflections. She would laugh and smile often and easily. Humor, kindness and joy in the simple yet most important things… the people and experiences. She was genuine. Adrienne will forever hold a special place in my heart. I am better for having known her and treasure the memories. Sending love and light. Condolences to all her family & friends. She lives on in those she touched.

So many incredible memories of our high school group at Little Flower. ..and the Sunday night dances. I did not know Adrienne well these last years but her passing feels like a part of our lives are gone. She was such a sweet person. My prayers and love to all her close family and friends!

Maxzine Logan,

The year Adrienne and I worked together was an unexpected blessing. We worked in the same classroom and I could not have imagined that such a warm, smiling, fun-loving person I would come to call friend. We drove all over Philadelphia to meetings while giving each other direction, getting lost- laughing, talking-about our families, exchanging recipes, and enjoying a moment in life.
To Bob, Paige, and her parents, Adrienne could not stop talking about you. You have our deepest condolences. We will all miss her, but she will live in our hearts forever
♥.
Maxzine and Family

I was so sorry to hear about Adrienne’s passing.

Adrienne and my mom were great friends for a very long time, so I spent a lot of time with Adrienne over the years at my moms house and at her house and at family parties.

Adrienne and Bob also rented me my first apartment (at a very reasonable price) and they really were the best landlords ever! I appreciated them both so much for this.

Adrienne was so kind, generous, and amazing. Every time I was with her or saw her, she made me smile because her kindness and smile was contagious! I truly think Adrienne made the world a better place and I am really going to miss her.

I am so sorry to hear of Adrienne's passing. I went to St. Martin's and Little Flower with her. She was a dear person--full of kindness and joy.
Paige, if you read this know of my prayers for your comfort. Your mother was lovely in all ways--as you are too.
My prayers and love are with you.
