It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Adele Long on August 18, 2020. The Angels reunited her with the love of her life Dave, and her father Stan.  She will be greatly missed by her mother Jennie Pogoda,  her son Cory Long and stepchildren Lisa Gillis (Paul) and Stacey Long-Gillis (Joe), grandchildren Wesley, Eddie, Alysha, Michael, Anna, and Joey,  her siblings Carolyn Kocis (Ralph), Marianne Rosa (Gord) and Ed Pogoda (Nancy),  sister-in-law Fern (Billy),  her many nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, and former students. She was a force to be reckoned with, and one of the strongest women we ever knew. She lived life by her rules and was always there for her family. Her strong spirit will live forever in those who loved her. Cory was her heart and her whole world, and loved being Wesley's "Gammie" and missed them dearly. She cherished her time with all of her grandchildren. Many students of St. Christopher's and St. Peter's will remember her fondly, as will her dearest friends. The family will receive visitors at George Darte Funeral Home 585 Carlton St. on Wednesday August 26th from 10am-12pm, followed by a private family service. Cremation has taken place.
