He parents were divorced and her mother left Adele and brother, Henry, in the care of her grandparents, John and Catherine Prentice, who owned a farm in Bergen County, NJ, where the town of Woodridge now stands. Adele attended school until Grade 8 but received special tutoring from the teacher which took her beyond the usual course. She became a seamstress, going into the homes of nearby landowners to assemble a wardrobe. Company from New York often picknicked at the farm when aunts, uncles, and cousins traveled out from the city for the day. Many were of Holland Dutch ancestory. A cousin riker nce owned riker's Island in New York Bay. For many years, Adele, an accomplished pianist, played for the Sunday School at the Reformed Church near Wallington. In 1908 she became engaged to C. Walter Crockett. The long engagement was a period of trial since Adele put aside friends of her youth, but her fiancee felt that a man should marry only when his income was adequate.

Summers were spent at Green Pond where the children learned to swim very early. Winters wre filled with neighborhood parties and trips to NYC. Adele always did her Christmas shopping near 33rd Street, going in on the train, only 22 minutes from home, The company chauffeur was available for shorter trips. Business prosperity after WWI meant that the Crocketts owned the best and biggest car on the block and the latest model radio.

Here in a Pennsylvania German community, friends were not easily made; however, she joinged the Lancaster Women's Club for a time and became very active in school affairs. When the income fell too low, she applied for WPA work, riseing to head of the Lancaster sewing project. She was well liked and very successful. When her husband died, she had a son at Lehigh University and four daughters to be educated. Very skillfully, she handled resources so that each found a career. In 1941 she applied as housekeeper to Julius Keller. They were married and lived at 1421 E. King Street, Lancaster, PA.
