Adabelle Frances Gill's Obituary
Adabelle Gill, 85, formerly of Warrenton, VA went peacefully to be with the Lord on Jan 19, 2017. She was born on March 9, 1931 in Fairfax, Virginia to the late Byrl Shelton and Lesta Fulk.
She is survived by two brothers, Sean West and Cecil Shelton; her children, Bonnie Burke and husband, Leon, Zan Dean, and Bruce Dean and wife, Janet; grandchildren, Lori Jennings, Chrissy Burke, Troy Burke, Frankie Burke, Cecilia Magaw, and Denise Deal; 12 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her three sisters, Lena Gossett, Betty Blevins and Mae Jenkins; and two spouses, Calvin Gill and Harold Dean.
Adabelle spent her early years in Culpeper, VA and then moved to Warrenton. She retired from Drug Fair Drugstore.
She loved spending her summers with her grandchildren and often talked about those memories. Adabelle took much pride in her appearance, most who knew her will remember her bright red lipstick, her perfectly manicured nails that she always did herself and she always had her hair looking perfect. She loved going to church and loved the Lord. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
The family would like to say a special thank you to all the caring people at Fredericksburg Health and Rehab (Golden Living) and the wonderful ladies at Capital Caring Hospice.
A memorial service will be held at 3 pm on Saturday, Feb 4, 2017 at Salem Fields Community Church, 11120 Gordon Rd, Fredericksburg, VA 22407.
