She was born February 14, 1942, in Warren,OH, a daughter of Oliver Richard and Helen Beatrice (Morris) Jones.
Adele was a graduate of Warren Harding High School.  She went on to further her education at Ohio Northern University earning a Bachelor's degree in History and was a member of their Alpha Xi Delta sorority, then graduated from Case Western Reserve University with a Master's degree in Library Science.
