Adele Renee Larson, age 83, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota passed away peacefully at her home on Friday, April 26, 2024. Adele was born in Thief River Falls, MN. She was born on August 22, 1940, in Thief River Falls, MN, to Ingvald and Irene Hanson. Adele graduated from Fergus Falls High School in 1958 and then attended Lutheran Bible Institute.

Adele married Gary Larson on August 27, 1960, at First English Lutheran Church in Fergus Falls, MN. Together, they lovingly raised three children. Adele dedicated herself to homemaking for many years before working at Hallmark and Bethel University.

Adele was a woman of many talents. She found joy in sewing, quilting, crocheting, and baking, often sharing her creations with family and friends. Her warm hospitality extended to hosting gatherings and family holidays, with a special fondness for Christmas celebrations where she weaved her Norwegian heritage into decorations and baking, adding an extra layer of warmth and tradition. Adele had a beautiful voice and sang in numerous ensembles at her church. Above all, Adele's faith in the Lord Jesus was steadfast, and she felt deeply blessed to witness generations of her family place their faith in God.
