Addie loved the homes that she, Orlando and their son lived in, all built
by Orlando. She especially loved the last hand-crafted home he built in
the woods in Forestport where they lived for 26 years. Addie was a
very loving, outgoing, happy woman who made her homes a place of
welcome, happiness and peace. She is also survived by four sisters-in-law, Olga Long and Grace Longof Syracuse, Jennie Long and Olga Mangicaro, both of
Florida, as well as several nieces and nephews. Many thanks to Fr. Bob
Weber, a family friend for many years, and her Forestport neighbors

Addie is greatly missed. May she live on in happiness, light and peace.
