Adeline (Ostrin) Cohn, age 104, had a long and happy life filled with love for family and friends. Always positive and full of humor, when friends died, she said that the secret to growing older is making younger friends. Adeline baked her famous chocolate cake for all celebrations into her late 90s. She had an uncanny ability to lift the spirits of her friends, family and all those whose lives she touched. Predeceased by her husband Bernard D. Cohn, her sisters Mary Ostrin and Rose (the late Clarence) Siegel, and her brothers Albert and Lloyd (the late Lil) Ostrin. Loving mother of Larry (Pearl) Cohn and Donna (Tom) Stone. Beloved grandmother of Kim (Ken Wexler) Stone, Tom Jr. (Iris) Stone, Lisa (David Emmert) Cohn, Beth (Robert Mueller) Cohn. Adoring and adored great grandmother of Sage and Raif Wexler and Daniel and Hannah Stone. Loving aunt of many nieces and nephews, and wonderful friend to many.
