Elizabeth (Beth) Lucille Adelmann, 63, was born the eighth of nine children of Charles and Betty Lou Adelmann. Closest in age to five boys, Beth became independent, spirited and perseverant, yet bright, creative, and thoughtful. Raised in Bloomington by her hardworking family, Beth spent most of her adult life living in Northfield. She was a country girl at heart, raising her three children on a small farm where they all enjoyed the freedom that comes with open skies and fresh air. She was a private person, who made keen observations, not missing the big picture or the small detail. She could find the beauty and treasure in everything. Beth's family meant the world to her, and she had a special ability for remembering those she loved with the perfect small token of affection, whether it be a cute cow figurine, a favorite candy or a funny card. Her role as Grandma was her favorite. She would always join her grandchildren in play like she was one of the kids and made sure they knew what a big deal each of them was to her. Beth has been described as someone with a special"spark" and if you knew Beth, you know this to be true. We will all miss her spark and hold her close in our hearts always. Beth is preceded in death by her parents Charles and Elizabeth (Betty Lou) Adelmann, as well as brother Patrick, niece Lisa, and sister-in-law Marguerite. She is survived by her children Angela (Wayne), Rachelle (Ryon) Simon, Jacob (Katy); grandchildren CJ (Nick), Tyson, Avangeline, James, Sam, Evelyn and Waylon. Also her three sisters and four brothers, Barbara (David) Thies Christensen, Charlene Thomas, Carole Wilkus, Mike (Gail), Joe, Jim (Jean), Chuck (Barb) and many nieces and nephews. Mass of Christian burial Friday September 6, at 11:00am with visitation starting at 10:00am at The Church of Assumption (305 East 77th Street, Richfield) Interment to follow at the church cemetery.
