SOUTH BEND - Adeline C. Goralski, 79, formerly of West Ewing Street, South Bend, IN, died Friday, January 5, 2007, at 7:52 a.m. in the emergency room at Memorial Hospital, South Bend, suffering a cerebral hemorrhage.

Adeline was the daughter of Dominick and Mary (Ferreri) Stante, who preceded her in death. A sister, Mary Skodinski, and a brother, Dominick Stante, preceded her in death.

Adeline lost her father at age nine and her mother at age 11, and lived in an orphanage for a number of years. Because of this experience in her formative years, family held a special place in her heart.

Adeline was a stay-at-home mom and an outstanding cook.

Adeline is survived by three daughters, Cathy (Ed) Flowers, Carol (Dave) Skwarcan and Billie (Robert D.) Lemanski. Adeline's love for family was shared with nine grandchildren, Jenny Flowers, Kevin (Angie) Flowers, Denise Skwarcan, Kim (Jim) Babcock, Tina Skwarcan, Wendy (Cameron) McCartney, Joseph J. Buczek, Jamie (Kent) Hodgson and Michael (Noreen) Buczek; and nine great-grandchildren, Joshua, Matthew and Patrick Buczek, Cameron, Kaitlyn and Alexis McCartney, Nicholas Skwarcan, and Kaylee and Julian Hodgson.

Cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be conducted by Rev. David Honeycutt of Deer Run Church of Christ at 10 a.m. Tuesday, January 9, 2007, in the formal chapel at St. Joseph Funeral Home, 824 S. Mayflower Road, South Bend, IN.
