Adele "Kelly" Kellenburger passed away at 98 years old on Sunday night, July 31, 2022. Those who knew her will remember her as a good friend, sympathetic listener, master storyteller, and accomplished cook. But mostly she'll be remembered for being "funny as hell", and her ability to leave 'em laughing. Adele led a colorful life as a professional model, suburban cop wife, homemaker, and entrepreneur. She loved the world of show business and entertainment, often driving to Chicago in response to "cattle calls" for movie extras. She had an innate ability to engage with people, even total strangers, that served her well in her personal and professional life. She made the world around her a better, happier place.

Adele was born on July 8, 1924 in Gary, Indiana to Tillie and Charlie Hasanbegovich. She was married to Grayson Kellenburger for 17 years, and is survived by her three children (Dennis, Debbie, and Dean), five grandchildren, and a bunch of great and great-great grandchildren. She lived in Northwest Indiana most of her life, with her last years being spent in Southwest Michigan. Though Adele is no longer with us, she will never be forgotten. The family will hold a memorial service at a future date.
