She retired from the bank in 2012.
June 22, 1974 was one of the happiest days of Adelle's life. That is the day she married Billy Morehead. They had two children, Vince and Vicki along with 4 grandchildren. Sadly in September 2013 Billy passed away.
A loyal member of the Caldwell Rotary Club, Adelle and Dorothy Bautista were the first two women inducted into the Caldwell Rotary Club. She has been an active member ever since. Serving as Treasurer in 2002, Adelle really enjoys helping with the different projects that Rotary holds through the year.

Adelle, you are an extraordinary person, always willing to help and the first person to volunteer when something needs to be done. There are many of us who admire you and want to be just like you when we grow up.
– The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.
