Ada was a kind loving person all of her life. She stayed faithful and strict to her religious upbringing taught to her by her mother Minnah Stabbinah Balderson. Ada was a Seventh Day Adventist like her mother and never touched a single drop of alcohol.

She also loved raising her grandson which was me since she delivered me at birth. Below is a picture of her and dad.

Dad was a World War II veteran. They were married for a total of 19 years before dad died of stomach cancer on April 14, 1966 at Kaiser Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles.

She loved raising her grandson Joseph J. Ripley Jr. The above is a picture of her and dad and Joseph Ripley Jr.

I don't know how old Ada was when she had to start wearing glasses. Below is a picture of Ada when I was learning to walk.

The above is a copy of a driver's license picture Ada had taken when she was 65 years old. By that time we had moved to Perris, California.
