Ada Belle Fudell

It is with sadness that we mourn the passing this past Monday of cherished CAA Family Member Ada Belle Fudell (a’’h); adored wife for 49 years of Stanley (z"l); beloved mother of Evie (Mercy), Iris, and David and Anita; cherished grandmother of Liz, Bansch, Molly, Josh, and Leah; celebrated great-grandmother of Tala, Eli, Julia, Lily, and George. Ada Belle (a"h) was born in Austin, daughter to Russian-Romanian immigrants. She was traditional, yet open-minded and well-informed. After only six weeks, Ada Belle (a"h) married Stanley (z"l), who she would consider to be her soulmate. She never had a critical word to say about him. Three major historical events that shaped her life were the trauma of the pogroms in Russia that her mother survived, the Great Depression, and World War II. She was a stay-at-home mother until her children reached school age. After this she worked as an office manager in various educational institutions, supporting Stanley (z"l) as he worked towards his doctorate, moving with him five times to further his career. Ada Belle (a"h) was a great reader. She held her Jewish identity proudly. She loved being in synagogue, meeting people, until she lost her eyesight and could no longer recognize members of the community. She was a tireless volunteer, contributing to the PTA, CAA, and CAA Sisterhood and many other organizations with her organizational skills. She was well-known in the Austin Jewish community. She will be sorely missed. She was 99. Funeral and burial services will be held tomorrow, Thursday, 21 November @ 10:00 am @ Austin Memorial Park -- 2800 Hancock Dr. To stream the funeral, please go to the Austin Natural Funerals Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/AustinNaturalFunerals.
